Well, last night it got down to 9F (-13C) so I gave it a try.? Not quite cold enough as they were popping as they hit the ground, so I tried a few things and finally got a few bubbles to survive and freeze.

Here if a very tight crop. Frozen Bubble-3138-Edit-2 (leica-users.org) <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Aram/w23/Frozen+Bubble-3138-Edit-2.jpg.html> I was just using the 24-120Z lens for these.? It is suppose to get cold again tonight so I will have to bring out the big gun (100/APO) and try the ice crystals w/o having to crop much. Comments welcome.
