Why doesn't the smoke from the car during winter come out all the time?

Question:
During winter, when you first crank the car up in the morning, no or little smoke comes out (or fog), but when the car heats up a bit, this smoke increases, mainly due to change in air temperature between the engine and the outside. But why does it go away after a while? Engine is still hot, and outside temperature is still cold!

Because the condensation from inside the exhaust pipe and mufflers is dissipated, once the condensation is gone the you have just dry heat coming out the exhaust. After you finish driving when the metal in the exhaust system cools condensation is formed again...which you dissipate the next time you fire the car up.hope this helps you.

That's not smoke that comes out its condensation, or steam for a lack of better words. Your engine produces alot of moisture due to burning gasoline, and that moisture builds up in the exhaust pipe cause of the cold. So as the car heats up so does the exhaust and the water is evaporated away quicker and the exhaust is not holding it in there.
