Very hot water in very cold air

During the present cold snap that is gripping much of the nation (-8 F for a high here in Peoria today), the Internet and other media outlets have been describing what happens when you toss near-boiling water into the very cold air.  Basically, the hot water breaks into fine droplets which instantly freeze to make an ice cloud, see: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/01/04/boiling-water-extreme-cold-water-gun-ice-crystals_n_4538522.html?utm_hp_ref=mostpopular for more explanation.  I tried it, too, with cold water as a control experiment (no "cloud" was produced).  CAUTION: I have heard that people are burning themselves with hot water!  The air is not cold enough to freeze all of the water.  Throw the water away from you and downwind!
