Air holds moisture. The warmer the air, the more moisture it can hold. So when warm air holding a fair amount of moisture comes in contact with the very cold dry ice, it cools down, and some of the moisture condenses out into those clouds you're seeing because the colder air is no longer capable of holding it.

Does light reflect off of clouds?

Of course. The reason clouds appear white is that the vapor droplets in them are reflecting the full range of spectral emissions, which appears as white light. The sky is blue because smaller Oxygen and Nitrogen atoms selectively scatter blue light. When the weather is "fair" the white clouds will be distinct against the blue sky, but as there is more moisture in the air, there will be more white light reflected and the sky will "wash out."

What is white clouds?

White clouds are masses of tiny water droplets or ice crystals suspended in the Earth's atmosphere.
