During my first visits to Utah, around April in the early 80s, I had observed a phenomenon I’d never seen anywhere before: Roadways steaming after a snowstorm.
This past Monday, after we received a welcome rainstorm the same event happened as the rain stopped and the skies cleared. That’s when we choose to go out for one of our daily walks, and there was all that vapor coming of the road and the roof as if something was burning.
Although I haven’t been able to confirm it, I attribute the sight to a usually very dry air in Utah and an exceptionally fast drying of the ambient atmosphere just at the end of a storm.
Is there anyone informed enough to confirm that hypothesis?
