xtaNor: a dry heat

May 16, 2008

here's another amazing thing about orgeon:

97 degrees here does not feel anything like 97 degrees in north carolina.

What was the relative humidity when it was 97? That's what I want to know.

23%!! can you believe that?!?

I remember the first time I heard Geeky Local Weather Guy in my current region say "it was a dry day today, humidity is 66%." I just about shit myself when I heard that.

I guess it's all relative. Humidity joke, haha!
