Science laughs at the cold! After it has put on a sweater, boots, a tuque, a scarf, a winter coat and thick gloves.
I waited to daybreak, to better appreciate the mist. Air temperature -24°C, slow air displacement, hardly a breeze at all (unless you're a Breezie, in which case you'd be frozen solid before you hit the ground). I threw a pot of +10°C "cold water" into the air. Very little mist, just splashed down into the snow. I threw a pot of +100°C water into the air (had been simmering on the stove). Much mist created, little water reached the ground. The mist drifted horizontally at walking speed in the breeze, mostly dissipating after about 50 m. The mist lasts longer at colder air temperatures.
Science high tailed it back indoors to bask in front of the radiator.
