Why does anyone want humidity?* If it's hot, humid air makes it feel
hotter, as your sweat can't evaporate so easily.* In cold weather, the
damp cools you down more.* So it's never wanted.

Here, humidity is low in the winter. The cats don't like it when petting
is accompanied by electric shocks.


In my college dormitory in Boston, I had to approach my room door with
my key held firmly to take the spark in the winter. If you approached
with your bare hand, the 3/4 inch spark would really hurt.
