Well - I lived in Pullman, WA for 3 years - on the Idaho border of WA - so very hot in the summer (> 100 F) but NO humidity. Never had an air conditioner even though electricity was dirt cheap (nuclear).
But the winters! We could & did get 3-4 feet of wet snow overnight - that either froze solid and stayed around forever or melted overnight due to a chinook wind and flooded everything! I vowed to move somewhere that I wouldn't need a snow shovel. Kind of forgot about the humidity! I still remember stepping off the plane at RDU airport into a wall of humidity!
This summer is making snow look good again! Or at least bearable!
