Default A/c vents leaking a visible fog

My air conditioning vents are blowing a fog. Is this a leak in the system?

Just got my 96 Honda a few months ago and am working out the kinks.

Thanks.

I pulled this off of a honda service news article....

A/C Mist or Fog?

When a properly working A/C is on and the relative
humidity is high, a little mist or fog may come out of
the dash vents. This phenomenon is similar to the
cloud you see when opening your freezer. It’s the
result of dry, cold air meeting warm, humid air. If
your customers are concerned, suggest that they run
the A/C in the recirc mode to dehumidify the inside
air.

Wow, I saw this in my accord and I was scared it might be the R134a leaking in the cabin!! I'm glad it's nothing. Thanks
