As I said, snow and rain count in humidity.
Click on the link and read the interpretations. It's either "a bit dry" or "very comfortable".
Ignore the troll and maybe it will leave.
Once again, weather here is perfect.
I can believe that it’s too humid for Stew’s comfort. But probably won’t be for mine. Whether the snow gets old, that’s another thing, but I lived in Chicago for decades. It didn’t kill me.
Funny thing, I’ve had two sisters in my mother’s family have that same kind of difference of opinion about personal comfort. One loved it in the middle of Mississippi. The other couldn’t bear to leave Albuquerque. Either Albuquerque was too dry, or Mississippi was too humid.
De gustibus non disputandem est. That’s why this whole argy bargy with Stew is funny. At least I’m trying to provide a relative perspective. Stew is the absolutist here.
I’m hoping I might only have to work less than a decade longer before I get other things lined up. Maybe MUCH less, if fortuitous events go down in my life (and the life of a good buddy).
But I would have to guess, I would probably seldom have a Christmas that wasn’t white in Detroit. Probably a Thanksgiving Day and a Valentine’s Day too.
There are beautiful things in many cities. Some people butt their heads so hard against the inconveniences that they fail to appreciate the beauties.
I hope they begin building pianos again in Detroit. I learned recently that the biggest world consumer of pianos is... surprise... CHINA! They are a huge producer now, but consumption is off the map. Now what if we could make pianos in Detroit again, and send them to China? They’d probably get fewer dud instruments that way. And they wouldn’t be polluting their Yangtze out the yin yang in order to get them, like they do right now. Pearl River... how about Pearl Sewer? It’s hard to believe how China does not care about pollution.
And that’s true about snow and rain. When it’s snowing or raining, by definition the humidity has hit 100%. BUT WHAT’S THE TEMPERATURE? It matters when considering the effect of that on what it’s like to live indoors, or even to go out in a car.
And Stew was complaining about snow that is too slushy to make a good snowball?
That would have to be during a pretty narrow seasonal zone, wouldn’t it? When temps themselves were hovering around the freezing point?
In deep cold the other thing would be the problem. Too little moisture to cohere. You’d be hurling handfuls of powder.
Been reading... it’s possible to catch salmon in Michigan, but only on the west side (Detroit is on the east). Walleye is a different story. All the walleye you want, easy peasy?
Yeah... I wish the greenies would start taking China into account in their picture. Lefties can be so parochial can’t they? What if they have a people’s paradise in China if they have to live in a sewer to do it? Hello lefties, why are you turning your back on the Gaia you said you loved so well?
Right now, the Steinway piano company makes beginner level pianos with many Steinway-esque features in China at Pearl River, er, sewer. They call it the Essex.
Why can’t Detroit produce Essexes instead? Detroit could do it far more greenly.
