[QUOTE="FJohnny, post: 16133777, member: 191643"] The one mandatory course in thermodynamics that I had to take sucked big time. Hated it. But it talked about the latent heat of evaporation (or melting, for that matter). It is basically like when you put aftershave on and it feels cold. The alcohol evaporating sucks 'heat' out of the surroundings and you feel cold. Same thing on a cold, windy day if you are in wet clothing. You will be much colder because the evaporation of the water is sucking the heat out of it's surroundings...you! So, coldish day, high humidity, maybe a bit of wind, the water that condensed on your windshield partially evaporated and the remaining froze as the heat was sucked away. Or, you accidentally left your car running with the A/C on full and it's a really great A/C. [/QUOTE]
