Is the need for carb heat affected by ambient humidity? In low
humidity conditions, and also at very low temperatures, is the
propensity for carb ice reduced thus 'eliminating' the need for carb
heat?
Just curious what the discussion might bring.


You may want to hang out behind the back of your local ground school
and grab one of the old Private Pilot manuals they are throwing out.

OK OK. Here's the deal, Outside the weather is "frightful" with no
visible moisture, 30% humidity & -12 centrigrate. Any chance of carb
ice in this condition?
(The manuals are gone; they've gone to CDs if not on their iPods.)
