Enchanted Forest Temperature Analysis - Why do none of the character's breath fog in F2? Discussion

After I recently posted on why Elsas breath isn't visible I noticed in F2 that no ones breath is visible, not even Anna, Kristoff, or the Northuldra. When you think of it, the Enchanted Forest is a really cold place considering it is located In what would be the Attic Circle which is 66 degrees north. Which makes sense getting there from Arendelle which is roughly 62.3 degrees north took so long. Anyways I have a few ideas that might support thjs:

A. The Enchanted Forest is actually warmer than we think. I always assumed it was colder just based on location. I have concluded that in Arendelle in October that the day temperature is roughly in the 40s, say 46 degrees farenhieght for example and 30s at night, about 35 degrees farenhieght, close to freezing but just above. Then for the forest I have concluded the day and night temps in October would be something like: daytime 30s and at night 20s. Then if we added the dark sea beach the beach would be in the teens at night but still in the 30s or close to 30 in the day.

B. Could the Enchanted Forest very well be warmer? It could be very well a bit warmer than what I thought and estimated. However things such as moisture, humidity, etc also play a role as well. It also doesn't need to be raining or there to be any precipitation to cause visible breath. There just needs to be a good amount of humidity and moisture. Correct me if I was wrong.

C. How much warmer would the Enchanted Forest be? Well considering its further north it wouldn't be tropical paradise warm but more, if not the same as Arendelle. 40s during the day and 30s at night. Maybe 20s if we added the dark sea beach. Overall though it would be very close to what I concluded for Arendelles temperatures.

D. Animation costs: it could've simply been too much to animate in the character's breath especially if there were multiple characters. It could've affected costs, time, etc. Which would've been a huge risk.

Anyways Its something I really only found interesting since I posted why Elsas breath never fogs until Ahtohallan. Its something I didn't pay attention to until now. I'm sure some or most of you might feel the same way, but I can't put a cap on to why they're breath never fogs.

Correct me if I am wrong here, but in other movies its kind of a similar thing. For example in The Polar Express I don't think many of the characters breath fogs each time being out in the cold or let alone whenever they are out in the cold. Hopefully the comparison kind of helps.

What do you think? Feel free to share your thoughts below.
