Default Hypothetical question #2

Why is it when you throw a cup of hot water in the air in -40 temperature it freezes immediately (turns it to a fog) but when you throw a cup of room temp water in the air it does not freeze? I have observed this in Fairbanks on -40 days and am wondering how to explain it. I think it has something to do with the vapor point of hot water.
