In other words, a cold front pushes all the moisture out of the sky (moisture is usually associated with warm fronts). When the moisture is gone, you get those stunningly clear skies, and of course the Sun. But it's not cold because it's sunny -- it's sunny because it's cold.

What's next, complaining it gets dark at night? (It doesn't BTW) I prefer sunny and cold winters anytime over damp and grey winters like in Vancouver or the Netherlands.

These cold and sunny days up here always throw me off the opposite way.
