Title: Worst weather..
Post by: tp4tissue on Mon, 15 June 2015, 23:00:07

I used to think  Hot + Humid is terrible..

Now I've experienced   Cold + Humid..


Honestly... COLD is worse...   gawhd...


I spun the AC controls too far left, didn't look at it,   fell asleep,    it's been raining all day outside..

Have you thought about opening a window to let in some natural fresh air?

The outside world scares tp4, who knows what kind of toxins there could be outside his ultra filtered air conditioned home.

A cold rain can be pretty miserable if you are outside in it.

One degree above freezing, no rain gear, wind blowing, at night - yes, that can be moderately uncomfortable.

Cold and dry vs cold and humid are two very different beasts. I have a friend from Nevada who goes to school with me in upstate NY and the first winter he experienced there was awful for him. I forget how he described it, but he was not prepared for that type of winter.

Agreed, cold+humid = horrible. That's why I like when the temperature drops below -5 C or so, the air dries out and it just feels crisp and nice.
