I have liquid nitrogen at work! I also have chilled water plants (4 degrees
Celsius) and refrigeration systems capable of pulling below -60 Celsius! 
Pretty cool huh!

I could suggest co-lo in the UK - had to scrape the inside of my windscreen
this morning... The condensation solidified overnight! Also, if the
windscreen is below 0 Celsius, the condensation from your breath solidifies
making it difficult to see where you are driving.

That was pretty flat. Revolutionary, but flat.
