On a more serious note, we took a trip last April up into Virginia just in time for a late winter storm.
It took me a couple of times to realize that when I turned the system to recirculate, rather than bringing in outside air, the windows fogged almost immediately and I would have to turn it to AC to clear them enough to drive. The system would be automatically set to outside air and I would have to "correct it"!
The Boxster has such a small volume of air in the passenger compartment, it is very touchy to humidity conditions, especially with two passengers.
Good ideas on what to check from JTP. I would start with the fresh air intake, from my experience.
