Why is dryer capacity lower during colder temperatures?

As temperatures reach freezing, dryer capacity is reduced because frozen grain must thaw before it is dried. This can take some time before the kernel is in a state to start to dry. This added time prolongs the process and as a result, reduces capacity.
