The cold you feel in Toronto is caused by convection and conduction of heat to the cold air in contact with your hand carrying heat from your hand. Niether of those occur in space, only radiation and reflection. Prevent the heat from escaping by convection by keeping the heat transfered to the air by conduction trapped in the insulation of your parka and the heat stays and keeps you warm.
As I pointed out in the initial post, the pattern of condensation was consistant with a conduction convection pattern of cooling as if the ship was in contact with somthing either cold air or cold water. I suspect cold water because cold air might have been cold enough to freeze the condensation. Cold water on the other hand could only have cooled it to just above the freezing point of water unless it was salt water in which case it could have been cold enough to freeze, but it didn't freeze. So, fresh water.
