Not that I'm rubbing salt into the wound...
but
I pulled our plane out at 8.15am under cloudless blue skies, 5 primes and up she started, inspite of the -18'C temp. Taxiied over to meet my ride home again (was dropping the 180 off in the north of the state for maintenance work), shut down the 180, 5 mins later was ready to go, 4 primes this time, up she started again, no probs... No damp in the air whatsover, just very cold. Taxied for take off, rotated before the end of the "18" paint on the runway and away we went. Glorious day for flying.
Mind you, I've had to wait since Jan 3rd to get that trip done, weather has been awful and we are up to our necks in snow, so I guess it works both ways
