Drove around for over an hour before the car warmed up, and that freezing fog from the river is cool as hell. My car looked like a frosted beer mug

i try not to drive when it gets this cold out. my truck makes sounds like the metal is about to break from being so cold. i know it's not the case, but it makes me uncomfortable.. lol. that, and when it gets this cold nothing wants to work. the colder it gets the harder the windows roll down, the less the brakes work, the less the synchros work, the clutch complains and gets all sticky, and even the steering stiffens up a bit.
but the heater, it's got a dragon in the dash. 10-15 minutes, even in this weather, and you've got yourself a face-melting breeze
but why does the clearing off make it colder? the clouds and precipitation have enough energy i presume to keep it warmer?
