What happens here
In an environment with an ambient temperature of 13 degrees Fahrenheit and snow on the ground, attempt to mark a wooden board. The board itself is covered in a layer of snow and ice. Use a red Milwaukee speed square to align a straight edge and then try to draw a line using a carpenter's pencil. Due to the extreme cold, the carpenter's pencil becomes brittle and breaks almost immediately upon contact and pressure with the frozen wood surface, making it impossible to create a discernible mark.
Goal: To draw a straight line on a wooden board in cold weather
