Unfortunately it's hard to produce uniform, large films and pattern graphene like current semiconductor materials used in transistors so this stuff isn't going to see industrial use until then.
In the meteorological world we calls tornadoes the finger of death/god.... but mostly as a joke because of Twister.
Speaking of the cold and awesomeness, here is a trick you can try once it gets stupid cold in your neck of the world. You can take boiling water in a cup and toss it into the cold air and watch it INSTANTLY freeze. Then take a cup of water at room temp and toss it into the air and watch it be unable to freeze instantly.
The reason this happens is that the boiling water will evaporate much fast. Evaporation causes the water to cool (its why we sweat, as our sweat evaporates we cool down via heat transfer) and thus since the boiling water will evaporate into steam in the ultra cool environment, it itself will become super cooled and turn into ice crystals!
Pretty neat, huh? I got to do this experiment my self last winter when the air temp got down to -31°F (-35°C) in Oklahoma.

Hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars at work right there
There's absolute zero chance I won't keep trying.
I have been defeated.
@Druhim, why you gotta be so cold?
Actually it can with a little thing called neuroscience.
Even found an article on it:

They can predict elections.

I love when I tell someone I am a meteorologist and they think it means I study space rocks.
"Oh-my-GOD! You like, study space?! Wow, like you must be soooper smart and like stuffs!"
I hear once you get north of I-90 the sun never shines and it never gets above zero.
I'm a few hundred miles north so I can say that it is completely true. The sun shines a little but it is always frowning. No smiley sun face for us.
...it sucked.
The tornado icon represents days I had a tornado and not actual tornado counts.
No no, I've chased and lived there.
Then they'd be orange
These are much better if I read them in Fozzie Bear's voice.
hooray, wyoming! i live there!
the place above washington
i want to go there
You mean Canada? Be careful up there, that is where the wild @Melding roams.
