I had to lol on 65F/heaters. Saw somebody today with earmuffs...in October. I truly feel for non cold weather natives when the highs are in the mid 30s.

Humidity is a bitch, regardless of what the thermometer says. Welcome (back) to living at sea level!

thank you!!! even in October waking up felt SO different than dry CO. mentally preparing myself to get used to humidity again 🥴 i read a couple times on here that August seems to be the most brutal and the city is kinda empty so maybe i’ll get a jump on planning a trip for then haha

That's a good plan. I'm from here but briefly lived out in the Tetons. My first visit back east to DC felt like walking into a damp washcloth.

However, it turns out 500" of snow a year is NOT my cup of tea, so I'm back in DC.
