The relatives (Minnesota) are always wearing short sleeve shirts while shoveling snow and 0 degrees or such. They come down here and look like they are geared up for the artic and its only 40 degrees here. Apparently they have the cold but lack the humidity issues. Our snow is hard as a rock and theirs is powdery from what they say.

might be a little farther South than me. I live in Jefferson County, but just barely. In 2014 I saw how far out from Birmingham the bus lines ran and tacked an extra 5 miles onto that as my starting-point to find a house! Being a native Floridian this seems like low-humidity to me! But everything is relative! Being a Florida 'product' I became acclimated to mowing the lawn on a 100F too-humid-for-sweat-to-evaporate Summer day!
I previously (2003-2007) worked in Atlanta for 4 years and when I moved back to Florida (in December!) I was like,
"I lived in this swamp?" It took me 3 weeks to re-acclimate to the constantly high humidity!
