It's *cold* in Phoenix

Zoom in!
Enhance!

I was getting to that!
I just had to get to a desktop, since the OP was from my phone.

Also, forgive the low res. It was taken while waiting for a left turn arrow through a gap in the traffic going straight.

Convert to metric!

Did someone leave the refrigerator door open again?

I understand what you mean though.
What can I say? My phone normally provides much cleaner, crisper pictures. I feel spoiled by technology.

Luckily your LG G3 is not set to automatically geo-tag pictures ...

That's not Phoenix! That picture was definitely taken somewhere above the Marianas Trench!

No luck involved, I turned off geo-tagging. Not that the geo-tag data wouldn't have provided much additional info:
- The title already said that this was in Phoenix. It's public knowledge that I live in the Phoenix area.
- Given the timing of when I posted this, it can be concluded that I took this picture while driving in to the office. So the geo-tag would have pointed you to somewhere between my home and my office. Given that I drive about 30 miles to work, that doesn't really narrow anything down.
In fact, I'll even go a step further: The picture was taken at the corner of 67th Ave and Van Buren. There, you don't even need to look for exif now.

XPrivacy could generate fake location data, but the XPosed framework no longer works with the new Android version.

And no, that isn't really close to my work. The I-10 was really bad today, so it was faster taking the surface streets.

I guessed as much. I wouldn't be arsed too. My general location is well known ...
-
Hopefully, it warms up soon. I'll be in Phoenix tomorrow.
-
Let's just say that I'm surprised my car started this morning. ;)
-
I lived just outside Phoenix for 6 months. It does get frosty there in the winter, but that's a tad outside the norm.
-

But it does give you a way to deal with all that pesky CO2; at -195ºF, it just deposits straight out of the atmosphere!
-
So you pulled a Ben L on us.
-
Plus it's a picture of a public street, which is in the Google Street View database and probably several more. I don't know if there is any way to reliably do reverse image search on those, but some day there will be.
In the meanwhile, you just have to post it on some anonymous imageboard with "does anyone know where that is" and make up some lies to attract attention to that thread.
-
Got bored and figured out that I'll be 5-6 miles from there tomorrow night, taking the 17 north.

Bad news. It rained this evening, so it'll be even colder tomorrow.
-
@chubertdev: It's still raining. Don't expect a warm-up.

If it's raining liquid water then I'd say you're already there.
-

I can't confirm if it's water. No testing has been done.
-
If it's raining liquid anything, it's not -196°F. It could be either much warmer or much colder: >= 32°F (liquid water), or <= -320°F (liquid nitrogen). Even CO2 could not rain as a liquid at -196°F; that would require the temperature be between -56.6 and +31.1°C (-70 to +88°F), and an atmospheric pressure of more than 5 times normal (73 times normal at the high end of the temperature range).

Crap, I hope that my flight isn't delayed.

For some reason, my brain read this as gassed. Fitting for a Belch.

Due to rain?
If flights were delayed due to rain, Seattle passengers would still be waiting on that Pan-Am 707 to take off.

Being much more coastal than Sea-Tac, Lindburgh field is much windier and foggier, so inclement weather causes flights out of San Diego to often be delayed.

Delayed 15 minutes so far...

Well, don't keep us in suspense. Have they let you on the plane yet?

Since he hasn't replied, I'll take that as a "yes."

Any weather condition way out of the ordinary will make them delay flights. They delay flights in Phoenix if it rains.
They delay flights in Seattle if it doesn't rain.

I wish my video game screenshots had exif data.
-
Timestamp and game description would be useful, yes.
-
They delay flights in Phoenix if it rains.
Only for a few minutes (let any accumulated oils rinse off the runway), or during really heavy rains, like the storm we had this summer that flooded the I-10.

I mostly want game-specific GPS coordinates.

Looks like the graphics are really improving.

DF looks a lot better now ;)

Ethane melts at −296.9 °F and boils at −127.4 °F, so liquid falling at -196 °F could be that.

Glad to oblige.

I started looking into that stuff, but most of the data I could find was combining temperature and pressure (duh) WRT boiling / melting so I gave up because it wasn't worth it.
-
I was considering only things that are present in the Earth's atmosphere in sufficient quantity that they might conceivably form rain at that temperature. Yes, ethane and a bunch of other stuff are liquid at that temperature, but they are not present in the atmosphere in any significant quantity.
combining temperature and pressure
With the exception of CO2, I also only considered normal atmospheric pressure.In other words, I only considered what sort of rain might actually be falling in Phoenix.

I basically sat down and started thinking about small molecules once I exhausted the very limited list of elemental gases (hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, chlorine, and the noble gases). We already eliminated CO2, so I looked at HCl, HF, HCN, HNC, and assorted other hydrogen compounds, then had an inspired moment and looked at methane (no dice, boils too cold), then ethane (bingo!). Whether you trust Wikipedia's physical property data is another matter, of course.
