Thats some dry air.  

Nothing compared to here. Lowest RH's I've seen...

PSM 61/-1 8%
MHT 61/1 9%
ASH 61/1 9%

I have been watching the late week system with interest.  Will I have some snow or SOME snow?  Interesting for Maine and perhaps Whites down to about me or Brian.

Holy shit!  You aren't kidding.  Probably makes sense with the NW flow, giving just a little extra large scale compressional heating/drying in that corridor.

8% is like Arizona desert stuff.

Speaking of the dry air.... red flag conditions it seems.

A friend posted this from I-690 around Syracuse, NY where a huge brush fire is raging right next to the interstate.  Someone probably tossed a cig butt or something.

We could be putting the plows back on out here, although we are still too far out get too excited. If it does snow, it will fall on the same day as last year's last dump.

Snow is the best thing ever. Better than sex.

Snow is the best thing ever. Better than sex.

The latter isn't happening much lately, so bring the snow I guess

Don't take any deep breaths.

The main route of transmission of SARS CoV infection is presumed to be respiratory droplets. However the virus is also detectable in other body fluids and excreta. The stability of the virus at different temperatures and relative humidity on smooth surfaces were studied. The dried virus on smooth surfaces retained its viability for over 5 days at temperatures of 22–25°C and relative humidity of 40–50%, that is, typical air-conditioned environments. However, virus viability was rapidly lost (>3 log₁₀) at higher temperatures and higher relative humidity (e.g., 38°C, and relative humidity of >95%). The better stability of SARS coronavirus at low temperature and low humidity environment may facilitate its transmission in community in subtropical area (such as Hong Kong) during the spring and in air-conditioned environments. It may also explain why some Asian countries in tropical area (such as Malaysia, Indonesia or Thailand) with high temperature and high relative humidity environment did not have major community outbreaks of SARS.
