I don’t know why I didn’t think of this before, but back in the 70’s I was taxiing behind a DC-8 at CYWG...temps around -40°. He was making contrails down the taxiway, and they were spreading in the almost calm air. He turned a clear morning into zero visibility in ice fog. All of that of course came from engine exhaust water.
