Water on the cooling element would very much increase its ability to cool. If the temperatures are in the teens, the air was probably rather dry, making it easier to heat up even in low temps.

As I first posted, I drove in rain and 50 degree temps, and it took 40 minutes to get the temps above 180 degrees.
