oh and i was gonna ask are you using Winter tires? or all season or summer? |
The atmosphere doesn't hold or release water. Water vapor is always present in the atmosphere (water vapor is actually the largest greenhouse gas too). It is only when relative humidity reaches 100% does water vapor condense and precipitate. When you hear people say that the atmosphere "holds" or "releases" water, this is a misnomer, because the water is always there in the form of water vapor. And believe it or not, there is actually more water vapor present in the atmosphere in the deserts of the world, than there is at the poles.
