How Long Will It Take for 300 Pounds of Ice to Melt in the Heat? Watch Live to See

NBC Chicago and Telemundo Chicago put the heat to the test

 We set out on a humble quest Friday to see how long it would take 300 pounds of ice to melt in the sweltering Chicago heat. As you can see, we didn’t quite get all the way there, but you’ll notice a definite change from the beginning to the end! 

Finish this sentence: It’s so hot outside 300 pounds of ice will melt in _________ hours.

We tried to find out on Friday, and although not all of our ice melted, we created a timelapse video to show what 95 degree temperatures can do to giant blocks of ice.
