First I would like to point out that there is no temperature in space. Second, the vacuum would turn snow to steam.
Therefore, this must be an oversight, as it is completely impossible.
Space itself does not have a temperature, but the lack of a heat source means you would freeze. If you are near a heat source, say the sun, you will not freeze...
I also don't see why snow would turn to steam as they are in a open space environment (ships blown up) and there is technically no heat...
The frost wouldn't boil off necessarily. Ever hear of a comet? They're basically dirty snowballs. The ice only boils off when they get close enough to the Sun.A simple google search revealed an article that can explain it better than I can.
Yeah and apparently you didn't read it. If you did, you'd realize they're talking about liquid water. The molecules already have enough energy to evaoporate into vacuum. In an ice crystal that's not necessarily the case.
Also, from the same article here is a quote:
Space is very, very cold, only a few degrees above absolute zero.you're both wrong, the temperature of the cosmic background radiation is indeed a few kelvin, but you won't notice any effect because of the extremely low density
