I'm not sure but i think that the water particles in the air are cool so quickly that they go through sublimation and turn to solid. because the water particles loose a lot of energy they because closely packed together. The force between the particles becomes a lot stronger

How does frost form on your windshield when the temperature does not reach the freezing mark?

The glass of a windshield cools down overnight much faster than other objects. Being morehorizontalthan the side windows on a car allows cooler, denser air to settle and condense against it more so than vertical surfaces. Frost forms when this condensation happens from water vapor in the air directly to the frozen, solid state. Frost rarely forms if dew has formed, or if there is much of a breeze.Measuring the temperature at a frosted windshield will show that it did get to (or just under) the freezing point, even though the heat radiating up from the ground has kept the ambient air's temperature above freezing. Radiant heat from the ground and surrounding objects also plays a part in the side windows staying a bit warmer than the windshield who's surface is facing the sky (and falling cold air).

How do you keep frost off windshield?

The night before, when you park your car, face it towards the east. Run the defroster full blast on its highest setting for 4 minutes before turning off the car, and then ge tout quickly to trap the heat inside. Finally, right before leaving the vehicle, climb on the hood and lick the entire outer surface of the windshield. This will keep frost from forming in the morning and you will have a perfectly clear windshield.
