Ah, but the house has much higher humidity than my car on a cold frosty....... and you of course correct we see this happen day in and day out in the house. But warming cold dry air gives quite dry warm air -- as I recall--- or at least that has been my reasoning.
For example, on several visits to Harbin, China in Jan. Feb. (some where I have some interesting shots/slides taken of figures at the ice festivals there) the outdoor temp beats a freezer by lots let alone a fridge. When using my camera in those conditions, I noticed very little condensation on the camera while getting in an out of our car (necessity to keep from ......) sometimes from morning into evening at the festival. On one trip one of group had gear with condensation sensor and the only time I remember it squawking was once on leaving the hotel. So, I was just curious about your "observations."
