Maybe it's just me, but I have a hard time with low humidity climates: you have to constantly lather on the lotion (which ultimately never solves the problem), and your skin tends to over-produce oil to compensate for the dryness... yuck. I'd rather deal with a little humidity.
You just gotta get used to it. You body will adjust. I love the days of 5% humidity which is about every day in the summer.

You should check out the Denver area. The winters are fairly mild for its latitude, with many days in the 50s in the middle of winter. Snowfall doesn't stay on the ground for more than one day most of the time and the summers are not humid at all. Also, you won't be too far from family and friends in Nebraska.

I was wondering how Tennessee was so I'm glad you posted this! I wonder if Kentucky is humid too? Does Nashville get snow?

Not much.. Maybe 4 inches a year? Honestly, Tennessee doesn't seem that humid to me, but to each his own..

I would say northern California or the Pacific Northwest. San Francisco, Seattle, or Portland would all fit that. Even Sacramento if you can handle the heat.

East Tennessee is less humid than Nashville. I love Nashville, but summers are generally 5-10 degrees hotter there than here in Knoxville (particularly at night).

Knoxville is actually something worth considering since it's a little less humid than Nashville, winters here are still pretty mild (the snow falls up in the mountains, not here in the valley), and it's a growing community with a lot of job growth. Not as much as Nashville, but respectable nonetheless.

Seattle. It rarely snows in the winter. If it snows it melts within 1 day. It is NOT windy. Temperatures 45-55 during the day and 32-42 at night, a lot of cloudy days. But very nice summers 70-80, low humidity, it rains very rarely, a lot of sunny days, cool nights (56-60) --> it's very comfortable to sleep
