Minnesota Misery Index
Technically, the Misery Index
was coined as an economic indicator but around Minnesota it’s taken on an
entirely new meaning. In the Land of
10,000 Lakes, the Misery Index is when hot weather meets humidity. The result is a marriage made in Hell and it
always means trouble, i.e. storms. For
the past week, the Minnesota Misery Index has been off the charts. Take a gander below at the readings for
today: 94% relative humidity! Yikes! For those of you in saner climates, the photo that follows might put it
in better perspective. It was NOT
raining when the picture was taken. THAT
is humidity trying to claw its way into the house. Thank God for blessed air conditioning.
