True but I don't really have that problem in the Northwest. Humidity in the winter time is almost always very high. But I run an air conditioner in the summer and if the air is already dry the air conditioner makes it that much worse since it acts as a dehumidifier too. Now, back in the Mojave desert, I run a swamp cooler instead. This cools and humidifies. It's so good at humidifying that I usually have to run it with some windows open or it gets too humid in the house.
