SHYTorque,does that mean humidity
The key is "visible moisture"...i.e. clouds. 99% humidity won't cause icing. But icing is a whole topic on its own because at very cold temps ice can't form anyway.

Cold crisp clear days are great, you get better performance as the air is denser so more air molecules to flow into the carb or over the wings..
