Which city doesn't feel dry in the winter?
 

Hi,

I have a health condition that flares up when the air is dry. Having gone through a long, cold, and dry winter in the northeast, I'm looking to move to a not-so-dry city before another winter arrives. Any suggestion would be appreciated. Because of job, I'd prefer at least a medium-sized city.
Thanks!

We lived for many years in Atlanta, which could never be described as dry. You probably could look into any moderate sized cities south of the Mason-Dixon line as possibilities. Birmingham, Alabama is great city, smaller than Altanta, and just two hours away. Raleigh-Durham, NC is another great place to live and work. I'm sure you'll get more suggestions here on this board.

This is easy: Portland or Seattle.

Beachbum is totally correct!

New Orleans. Unfortunately the humidity makes 50 degrees feel like 25.

sleepless in seattle......kinda catchy don't ya think?

Well, I'll be more like sleepy in seattle because I get sleepy during the day from being sleepless at night...

Anyway, I heard that Seattle winter is chilly (not New England like chilly, but still chilly), which makes me wonder - do you have to crank up the heat in the winter, which turns the indoor air dry?

so....not dry aaannnnddd not cold......how about honolulu?

It's never dry in Houston. This is why I will never have a good hair day :)

The Seattle area gets chilly, but not that chilly (most of the time day temps are above freezing). If you're worried about the air in the house being dry, get a humidifier.
I've lived in Tacoma my whole life, and never minded the winters, which tend to be mild compaired to other parts of the country.
The summers are nice too, not too warm, not too cold, with very low to no humidity. Today it's 85.
There are lots of medium sized cities in western Washington. Right now I live in Port Orchard which is across Sinclar Inlet from Bremerton which is an hour ferry ride or car drive from Seattle.

I grew up in Ohio and live in Seattle now and laugh when people here complain about the weather in the winter. It's certainly wet, but not usually extremely cold and rarely snows.

I have learned there is no perfect place to live. Every place has its faults (Southeast = hurricanes, Northwest = rain, etc). Good luck sleepless.

Add San Francisco. It rains in the winter. Sacramento is hot during the summer but not dry during the winter.

In general, air becomes dry as it gets cold. (exception: Seattle, but it isn't that cold)
