I spent most of my life in New Orleans and traveled the South in the summers. Believe me, humidty is FAR worse than dry heat. Green Marriner knows but people who haven't experienced it can't imagine.

I wouldn't go back to living on the east coast if you paid me. NJ was called the armpit of the US for a reason!! I do miss the shore sometimes, but when I look at the weather and see the humidity levels, that straightens me RIGHT out!

High humidity is suffocating. The minute you step outside it is like a ton of bricks on top of you. You don't ever dry off after a shower and you can't even cool off in the shade. I don't miss it. Not one single bit!

The summers are one of the reasons I'm trying to leave. Also, I don't have a car, so I walk or bike everywhere I go. Today I walked about 3.5 or 3.7 miles from Barnes and Noble back to my apartment. I took over an hour in the 95 degree heat and humidity. I almost passed out when I got home.

I know the effect a high humidity has, and I wouldn't trade our low humidity for anything. We're finally hitting the high 70s, and we haven't seen temperatures that high for over seven months. I'm so sick and tired of being cold and wet I can hardly stand it. Even our hottest days are pleasant to me, because of the low humidity, so I'm ready for summer. Bring it on!!!! By the way, have you ever been out here to Utah?

I haven't been to Utah. I lived much further west. I lived in the Seattle area for a few years.

It's not all bad, inland Jersey you don't get the Ocean breezes and the South, well that's a whole different level of heat/humidity.

I'm on Long Island and although part of the Northeast we still get a good deal of humidity. But I drove out to Water Mill in the Hamptons for a social function yesterday and the landscaping with the high hedges, lush green lawns and flowering shrubs with dunegrass covered sand dunes and ocean as backdrop, oh it was a sight to behold.

Dodging the city folk in their Aston Martins and Ferraris with absoulutely NO idea how to drive them, well that was an interesting experience.

Yeah, I was inland...Burlington County. The ocean breezes is what makes living there worth it! I could never afford to live near the shore though

The heat and humidity of the Southeast are part of the reason I tend to appreciate when it snows(which is maybe once or twice a winter in Atlanta, and not much more than 2 inches at most. This past January we got 8 inches, which is very rare. It was that once every 15-20 years kind of things).

Green Mariner, you will be excited to hear that Snowbasin is re-opening this weekend for skiing...You may run into Katz and Katy if you can sneak out this way for a run or 3...
