Boise, Idaho

When we first moved to Boise nine years ago, I thought I was going to freeze to death.

I moved in mid-February and Rich in April. I expected to be cold during the winter. But I didn’t expect to be cold when Rich came in April. And I certainly didn’t expect to be cold until nearly the end of summer.

I had lived in cold areas before moving to Boise, but those areas were desert–virtually no humidity.

Boise humidity isn’t exceptionally high, but it’s much higher than the Nevada desert.

Just checked humidity as I wrote this post. Boise is 84%, and Reno is 47%.

Since returning to Boise last week, I feel the same way again: freezing to death!

We just finished spending four months in Phoenix, and the humidity there is a whopping 7%.

So NOW I know why I have been feeling like I’m freezing to death since we’ve returned to Boise.

It’s not the cold, it’s the humidity.
