.... or maybe when the humidity drops the density increases anyway, eh?
How'iz'it?

.... I gather - not knowing the technical details of thermal dynamics - that cold, Winter air has a stronger punch (density) than warm, humid air. It would seem that you folks who see few cold fronts with this much depth, would notice it more than us who have pretty regular seasonal changes.
My pilot friends talk of 'density altitude'.

Here is a thread which deals with the effect of temperature and humidity in relation to the wind.

Mmm this is interesting I have never heard of this, maybe yes its because we don't see that kind of cold very offen here. Also most of the kiters will not ride here when it gets below 60 or even leave the house when it hits the 50's. I will say it was hard to figure out how to have fun in the cold snap we had.
I give you cold weather riders some credit YOU GUYS GOT BALLS

Don't know about their air, but their women sure are frisky!
