One thing that strikes me about the cold weather flying. The
reduction in cabin heater temperatures as I throttle back to rejoin
the pattern. The heater in my Cherokee does great at higher RPMs, but
in the winter, 1700RPM apparently does not generate enough exhaust
heat.

My Warrior used to do that. Once I "weather-sealed" the plane
(filling/closing all the cold air leaks), that went away.

Of course, I kinda like it a bit cooler when I'm coming in to land.
Especially if it's a nice, gusty crosswind...
