Someone was telling me how slick it would be today after getting down to 15 overnight. I told them if the rain/mist stopped in time, the roads would be mostly clear from evaporation and they looked at me like I had 2 heads. LOL
Yes this happens in freezing temperatures when the air is dry the ice evaporates bypassing the liquid stage turning into vapor The process is called sublimation, this is how snow disappears even if the temperature never gets above freezing.
The one thing I remember from school and everybody else knows it to. I thought I would try to feel smart once but it has never happened yet. I gotta keep trying or I will have to admit I'm stupid ( Dont need anyone's help with that).

It's great to observe curious things of this sort.....Another one that jumps out at me is the formation of lines of foam on large lakes on windy days.
I expected our roads would be pretty much dry this morning, but they weren't/aren't. Still a lot of ice. My wife barely got up our driveway a little while ago, and it's not steep at all.
yall must have had more ice than me. It was very thin luckily
This is an inexact science. The science isn't inexact, but the circumstances are inexact. It's like trying to explain why hot water freezes more quickly than cold water. It's subject to lot's of variables. It's amazing in theory, but it's quite possible that people will go out there sliding around on the road with a car load of children. LOOK OUT!
Ice was gone by noon in Norman, drove to get fried chicken for lunch
I still haven't cleaned my truck off. It's sitting in the driveway with about 1/8" to 1/4" of ice on it.
