Folks, y'all ain't gettin' it. Most of you moved from an area that had humidity and snow. For those of us who had little to none and no snow to offset the discomfort of humidity, the humidity is BRUTAL. I lived in a little area called Diablo Valley. Part of the reason it got that name, I think, was the heat during the summer -- we got almost as hot a Central California (107 vs. 112), but if we had 20% humidity with that heat, we were whining. Under 20%, it was hot but bearable. Shoveling snow for most Californians, Nevadans, New Mexicans is not an issue. It takes a few years for those of us who really haven't experienced humidity to get used to it. But it is nice to see that even those who lived with humidity find it takes time to adjust to Florida's.
