My chemistry is rusty but that's why I remembered...

I was too lazy too explain and I just blurted it out for the hell of it becuase I was tired.

If you tossed some liquid water into 80 degree martian atmosphere it would freeze. Some of the water would rapidly evaporate in the dry thin air, the rapid evaporation would so cool the remaining water it turns into ice, then the ice would vaporize.
