I note that on those pages, it mentions using the developers at 30F, 5F,
and 
even below zero temps. Out of curiosity, under what cir***stances would
one 
need to develope film with chemicals below freezing, and further, what
about 
fixing and wa****ng? Are there low temp products for that? And if the
answer 
is no, you just use higher temps for fixing and wa****ng, then why not use 
the same higher temps for developing and avoid the possible reticulation?

This question is part of my "Learn something new everyday" campaign. 
Yesterday I learned something new from an adult website-- wanna know what
it 
was?!
