Mystery start/no start when cold or wet outside!

My 2000 Aero didn't turn over one cold, dry morning. There was a click (solenoid/relay?) that occurred but no start. Battery connections fine. The next day was damp and rainy and it started right up and ran fine for two months, through cold, etc. (I live in Maine). Then yesterday it wouldn't start--again cold and dry-- but started right up this morning with lots of humidity in the air. I checked the terminals on the starter and they were neither corroded nor loose, though I did try to snug them down when this happened two months ago. I thought that fixed it, but I guess not! Any thoughts? It seems like a bad connection that works in the damp but not in the dry cold, but I haven't a clue what. Before I throw parts at it, I'd like to pick your collective brains. Thanks , as always, for any insights!
