Hmm, I'd rather the humpback whale breath for Labrador than dry air from western Quebec with that gives you a 200 volt shock static electricity every time you touch a metal object.
And speaking of static electricity, in the 1888 Great Plains children's blizzard.....according to best guesses they received about 6" of snow, with winds sustained at 50 gusting to 80, with temps falling to -15f. People were literally getting knocked on their asses when they tried to load their wood stoves.
