Do they still float in extremely cold climates?

yes I set one off last night it was 2 deg above 0 its takes a little longer to heat up , also dont attempt set them off on a windy day

We just set one off as a test run for New Year's eve. We live in MD and it's currently 40 degrees. It takes a bit to heat up, but mine are the larger ones. It flew high and for about 3-4 minutes.

I would think they would, although it may take longer to launch and therefor not stay aloft as long or attain higher altitudes. My best guess.

Mine have not floated or taken in any weather so far..If you have the ones I have, good luck Mine came in a twenty pak and look bigger than this pic....

Hello Kellie, I have used them in sub-zero temperatures up here in Fairbanks, Alaska. They worked just fine, even better because the warm air will rise faster in the colder air. You can assist the lift off by filling the lantern using a hair dryer if you wanter, but that is not necessary.Good Luck!EAmon

Have only used them over the lake in the warmer months. That is April though October in Maine. So have no helpful info for colder climes. Sorry!

I am sorry I can't answer your question because I live in Sunny South Florida. All I can say is give it a try for around a $1.00 a piece you have not much to lose

I live in Alaska, no problems in NEGATIVE 20 degree weather, we just lit them and kept them setting near the ground till they filled up. Then off they went

Ours didn't float at all. It was a family event in FL in August. Maybe you would have better luck.

I live in panam, so I don`t know about cold. but with the water splashing they are perfect. I do recomen them.

As long as you set them off in the right conditions with no wind they will slowly drift upward. If there is a strong little wind they will float away pretty fast

I think they all do, the glow one, the snow one and the diamond plate ones definately do, I have a Sol cosmos one also and even though its bigger it still floats more than it sinks :)

No, they don't float in liquid - they're heavy, and there is no reason I can think of to put them in a liquid. They are only decorative - they have no cooling properties whatsoever.

they absolutely do NOT disolve in cold water. on the hot water cycle of my he washer, they left a gooey residue on some of my clothes which was very difficult to remove. i finally found someone who loved them and gave them away.

Yes, but I would being them in over the winter. They don't seemed to weather well in extreme temps.

We had wind chills of 30 below and the water never froze, although I had a very thin layer on top of the water, as someone else mentioned. Actual air temps got as low as 3 below with no problems.

I'm pretty sure they'll float. I would say 98% certain that they will float. They are somewhat firm, but you can squeeze them, and crush them. They are not as firm as Styrofoam from an ice chest or from packaging.

Yes. I've only ever flown them in January in below freezing temps with snow on the ground.

They float. They are very lightweight but do not have holes to get water inside of them. I bought these for my 6 yr old nephew and he loves them! He even plays with them in the pool!

Yes! I personally own a few of these and they float about mid way, not completely on the surface but still float. Using an iPhone

I got mine in the winter months and they were packed right and did not freeze even though they were left at my mail box. It was not below zero when they came but it was freezing.

No. Unless they are at foot level. Big winds, snow and ice have not damaged mine. But they are attached under my roof overhang.

I don't think so; they come with an adapter/controller, that gives the impression of wet snow falling.

I've put my whole gloved hand in water while Ice Fishing and had no problems with being cold. I've shoveled snow with these in below freezing temperatures and my hands got sweaty

I haven't tried them but why not try? I would make sure they are very cold.
