Yes, cold air is denser, more oxygen molecules per piston stroke which may result in 10:1 AFR.

Warmer air (heated by warmer engine) is less dense, so fewer oxygen molecules per stroke. Yet same amount of fuel will result in richer mixture of 9:1. Which causes lazier burn and sluggish throttle response. Not to mention that much fuel will wash oil from cylinder walls and cause premature wear on engine.

BTW - 9:1 AFR is at limit for rich end of wideband sensor, so you may actually have richer than that mixtures.
