Congratulations on the humidifier, Mark. I know how much that peace of mind is worth!
My sister, Robin, is almost a neighbor of yours- she's a college professor at UNH, living over in Lee, NH. She regularly treats us dixieland hicks with stories of the rigorous, atrociously cold and dry winter conditions up there. What fun!
Down here in 'Bama, when it gets dry in the wintertime, I run two humidifiers in my shop, and that usually keeps it up around 35-40%. But sometimes, it drops down into the teens here too. My Dad, whose workshop this used to be, left this hideous indoor/outdoor carpet on the floor of the shop. I hate that carpet, it's such a pain in the butt to keep clean... But on those cold, dry winter days, it becomes a blessing, because I can pour two or three gallons of water on the floor, soak the carpet, and the humidity stays optimum. Silver linings, eh?
