Water doesn't sublimate. Sublimation is solid to gaseous phase change.

    Yeah, evaporate would be the appropriate word here, while sublimate would be for room temperature ice, which I don't know if it is ice that does it or if there is a microscopic film of water that then evaporates.

    Technically, water does sublimate, just not at normal earth pressures. Below 0.6 kPa it transitions straight from solid to gas.
