Yup, steam.
We get those "forrin" clips all the time. It's so cold water turns into.......fecking vapor as its supposed to accordind to the laws of physics.

Yes, steam AND snow.
When it's cold outside, there's hardly any water vapor present in the air, whereas boiling water emits vapor very readily — that's why it's steaming.
When you throw the water up in the air, it breaks into much smaller droplets, so there's even more surface for water vapor to come off of. Now, cold air is very dense, and this makes its capacity to hold water vapor molecules very low. There's just fundamentally less space for the vapor molecules, So when you throw the boiling water up, suddenly the minus 25 air has more water vapor than it has room for. So the vapor precipitates out by clinging to microscopic particles in the air, such as sodium or calcium, and forms crystals. This is basically just what goes into the formation of snowflakes.
