The question to me is not whether or not that the phenomenon exist but that
it does seem to behave differently at different places at least per the
different reports I have heard here and my own personal experience. In some
places it is quite common and in other places people are totally unfamilar
with it. The latter would have been my case if I had never moved from South
Ga. From my perpective it does seem to track humidity or rather the lack of
humidity. IS this not correct?
