when the weather is right, you can sometimes see rain hitting the hood of your car, and 'disappearing' if the engine/hood is hot enough, the hood doesn't even seem to get wet.. it just becomes smokelike wisps...

the air has to be somewhat dry (so its has to be at the beginning of a rain storm, or cool weather, (since cold air can 'hold more moisture' than hot air)..and you need a nice steady breaze.. (but not windy weather)

you can sometimes see the same 'wisps' of water vapor evaporating from a sheet of ice.. (you need really cold, dry, clear and sunny weather, with some breezes..
the sun will warm up the surface of the ice, (it won't melt, (not when its 15º (f) ) but the combination of sun light and a slight breeze will create small wisps of water vapor.

(of course solid CO(2)-carbon dioxide- goes from solid to gaseous at room temperture.. the block 'melts away' infront of you eyes.. the vapors pour off and diapate.
