NWA is the least humid place in Arkansas but they also have a harsher winter. NWA has more of a humid continental than a humid subtropical climate.

I have a friend in Benton, Arkansas so I should ask him about his weather. Not sure where in the state that is though.

Benton is in the Little Rock metro which is much more humid than NWA, but winters are pretty mild down here. We had one snow this year and it was in March. It is also noticable rainier than western Arkansas. Southward and eastward from Little Rock has more of a deep south feel while the entire northwest 1/4 of the state is the Ozark mountains.

Are poisonous snakes much of a problem in NW Arkansas?

Snakes aren't a "problem" anywhere. They are more afraid of us than we are of them, so they usually try to stay away from areas that humans congregate. It's funny that you mentioned snakes, because I just ran upon a water moccasin aka cottonmouth today while cutting along a corner of my yard that I rarely go to. We ran from each other, but I admit that I started first!

Yes I agree! Also some people wee saying NWA is the best...I grew up there and yea..very humid...and some winters there is a fair amount of snow..not a ton but a fair amount.
The more I read the OP I thought...THAT IS SEATTLE! I have been up here for the past three years....And you described it to a T. There is no humidity...and there could be one or two days of a light dusting of snow...IF ANY.... As far as AR goes there is a good amount of humidity..(which I personally like) BUT it does get pretty intense sometimes. hope this helped a little..

Humidity is relavent to what you are accustom to I beleive. We moved to NM to escape the humidity in Texas and now are moving back into it, but it appears NWA has shorter, cooler summers. That is what made texas so bad, high humidty coupled with very long and very hot summers. Before moving to Texas we spend 7 years in the DC area, yes, it is very humid and sometimes it got to us, but the good thing, like NWA the summers didn't often get much above the mid 90s and the hot weather didn't start til mid June, unlike Texas where it starts almost now and continues into October with many days above 100%

North Carolina is very humid, you'll feel like your in a sauna. When you walk outside with glasses, they will fog up immediately.

I live in the River Valley and have since '92. If we get ONE snow a year we are lucky. In that time there has only been once that snow stayed on the ground for more than one day.
