FROM TODAY'S PRINT EDITIONS:
John Fausto writes from Freeland: “One day last week I woke up and … saw that the humidity was 4% and the temperature was 11 degrees …Could this be possible, as it would indicate a very dry (desert) condition.” That’s one bone-dry martini. Those numbers suggest a dew point of 50-below zero. Maybe you were dreaming. Or your bleary eyes missed a digit alongside the 4. Or maybe your instrument was set to read out the “dew point” in degrees, instead of “relative humidity” in percent.
