Engine Cooling problem
2002 Ford Taurus 6 cyl Automatic

Today after I drove my car to work and turned the car off I noticed some steam coming from the hood. It only lasted about 1 minute and then it stopped. Then when I drove my car home and turned it off the same thing happened. The temperature gauge was normal the whole time I was driving and there were no weird smells, and I just had my coolant reservoir replaced so I know it is not that. We just had a big snow storm so I am hoping it is just the snow but I just wanted to ask and get some other ideas as to what it could be.

Pop the hood when its steaming and see where its coming from. Snow shouldnt have been up on the engine. But it still could have gotten there and caused a bit of steam. But nonetheless could be causign it. If it was coolant chances are youd smell a coolant smell
