Warm air holds more moisture than cold air, so the dew point of warm air is warmer. Wait, let me start over. Warm air holds more moisture than cold air, and Continental engines have a greater temp drop in the carb than Lycomings, so carb ice in a Continental will be more severe. Since cold air has little moisture, the ice formed from that air will be less severe.
