Humidity

[MaenadMoogle]

How ironic........ You're not going to believe this but this area of PA that I moved to is 100% German..... My Wife's family is 100% German and they taught me how to make homemade sauerkraut. So each year we raise tons of cabbage and stomp it in large stone crocks, add salt, let it ferment and then can it. It's way better tasting than store bought kraut but the process of fermenting it does tend to look a bit gross.

Ahhhh yes. Welcome to Pennsylvania, it is Germany 2.0. I mean, just be happy you didn't end up in the PA Dutch counties out east.

50% German, 50% Scotch here, and now craving homemade sauerkraut like my grandma used to make.



back on topic: This PA humidity above 90% is killing my vapor production too, but my g.f scolded me for "too many clouds" in our den. . . little does she know, I only have an ego and my istick is on it's way. I'll SHOW YOU CLOUDS. (j/k, somebody come show my g/f a REAL cloud chaser)

Ha! It would have to be right?
I worked highways in the badlands for a year and a half (poor pay) and while it was really nice scenery, high temps and hot pavement kinda melt away your will to live.
Sigh.... I need someplace moderate.

Precisely. When you work in a place where the environment will kill you in seconds with one, tiny mistake, it's not easy to keep a stiff upper lip. Pull off a glove because you can't retrieve a dropped tool wearing it? Lose a hand. Or worse. They hushed it up, but the biggest cause of death up there was suicide. Second biggest was murder. Cabin fever was pretty dam bad. But as I say, I didn't know that before I went.

 

[Gahh]

I down here in middle GA and have noticed the same, just doesn't seem like the vape is as pleasurable when it's hot-n-humid. Tho, for me at least, I'm not happy with anything when it's so dang hot.

I do construction o LI NY.
When I hit the vape out side at 85+* ,,, the vapes not as satisfying as when I'm in an air conditioned room.

 

[NoFumus]

Me too! Stuff is really bad.
I'm in the TC too. And I cannot stand how humid this summer has been. Someone just told me is the second most mild on record? For heat maybe? Too humid.

Hi neighbor! That's the thing! It hasn't even been that hot here. I checked back through July and I don't think it's cracked 90. Normally, 86 isn't miserable.

Lefsa is great. Seems we only make it around xmas though.

Yes, Christmas tradition for us, too. Two reasons, Lefsa & humidity, that I wouldn't mind a little December. But then, it's never a little December is it. It's six darned months of the stuff.

(Last night I mixed up 750ml of hazelnut donut cream, after a long steep i think it may be a new favorite)

That sounds really, really good.

As a matter of fact I am in the heart of Amish Country (Dutch) here in PA.......... Anyway, I will bring my Kennedy Competition RDA and my IPV and I will hand her a few clouds

 

[MaenadMoogle]

I will say this about the Amish, the buggies annoy me, but they DO know how to cook. . . .

 

[AXIOM_1]

+1 on hating the buggies and how they creep along and you can't pass them arrrrrrrrrgh. Oh well, just have to deal with it living in this part of the Country.

 

[Completely Average]

Oh you poor people and your horrible weather.


Wanna trade?

 

[AXIOM_1]

No Fair!! Texas doesn't count

 

[MaenadMoogle]

Texas is a mythical land where nobody actually lives. . .

. . . Besides, having traveled a bit, there is a big difference between 103F and dry and 80F with humidity.

::meanwhile in the rest of the world people are like "80 degrees?!?!?! ARE YOU ALL DEAD?!?! oh wait, you bloody Americans with your fahrenheit"::

Define "dry".

I ask because we have a higher humidity here than Pittsburgh does right now. Only slightly less than Johnstown PA. 103 and 47% humidity isn't dry. Not by a long shot. It feels like a sauna.

You've got to remember, Texas is a coastal state. 367 miles worth of coastline.

Very true.. I used to live in the southwest where it was hot with little humidity. Compared to humid areas I will take the dryer, but hotter places any day of the week. In the year 2000 my wife any myself traveled to Southern Idaho for a visit. One particular day on our visit it was 103 degrees, with zero humidity.......... Because my wife any myself had gotten accustomed to this humidity, it did not even feel hot to us. Because of that fact, my wife and myself stayed outside too long and my wife got a bad sunburn. We just didn't realize that it was that hot.

 

[MaenadMoogle]

Sorry, that was supposed to be a sarcastic comment. (I need a symbol for that.) Since anytime anybody around here ever says anything about the heat in the midwest or south, it's followed by "yeah, but it's DRY heeeeeaaaat" I lumped texas in with that. Depends on where you live though, I suppose.

Here, it's humid because it hasn't stopped RAINING in weeks.

 

[AXIOM_1]

Define "dry".

Yes, I know that it can get humid in Texas but in places in Nevada and Arizona that I have been there was ZERO % humidity.

I'm pretty sure Texas is it's own country. (that's a sarcastic wink mind you!)

Yes and that's why it doesn't count lol ........... Actually there is more truth to that statement than some may realize..... Texas is sort of branched off of other states in many ways which is why I would love to live there

that is the truth.
it's feast or famine with the weather in this state.
But take a walk in the woods in fall?
nothing like it.
And hey, vaping won't start any forest fires!

Texas is a mythical land, all right, but people do live here.

Lol, I know a number of Texans who feel the same ;-)
