Now it was time to make Dorothy fly. Jasmine glanced over at Leah to see how she was doing with her helium. While she waited for her to finish, she decided to start the last portion of the activity. Holding on to her radiosonde, Jasmine looked for the clamp that she needed to push. Finding it, she pushed down and the radio receiver detached. Figuring that she was as ready as she would ever be, Jasmine walked over to the nearest window.

Jasmine knew that she was going to have to move fast because otherwise, she might freeze on the spot once the cold air hit her. Quickly opening the window, Jasmine threw her balloon outside and shut it immediately. Taking a moment to recover from the arctic blast, Jasmine waited for the readings to register on her device.

When the data finally began to register, Jasmine looked for her temperature readings. She was hoping against hope that the number would be above 0 degrees, but alas, it was not to be. It looked like the groundhog saw its shadow and they were in for six more weeks of winter because the temperature said -15 degrees. Maybe the balloon hadn't reached its final height yet and the temperature would increase. Heat was supposed to rise, right? Well one could only hope.
