Heavy cold air
This sounds like a project for an Atmospheric Scientist or Meteorologist. Cold air is heavier than warm air. Air pressure is at the core of venting. That's why in hilly or mountainous regions the valleys frost before the hills. That's why motorcyclists like the hilltops when they're riding at night (even in summer). My high-school earth science teacher use to complain about baseball commentators that claimed the ball would fly farther because it was cold out, because the cold air is actually heavier than the warm air.
That might begin to explain the temperature mystery. As far as the actuall vent design, I'll leave that to the venting experts. One question I do have;
Is the trap cracked or have a cleanout at the botom of it that might be leaking?
I'm curious about your findings, please report back
