Did the mag check.
Pulled carb heat on. Whoom! Rpms went up to 1700.

What was the temperature/dew point spread at the time? Was the air
mass wet?

Hm. There was heavy frost on the grass and frost on the wings and tail
feathers, condensation inside the plexiglass windscreen. I'm sure it
was above freezing by that time, 8:15am. I melted the frost off by
turning the planes into the sun while I did the preflight check.
