[T3] Weber Carb update

Mon Jul 16 15:41:31 PDT 2012

Seems that weather site has a problem at the moment so I can't check what I
saw, but I thought I was looking at June.  There was a record low of 3%
given, which I think was a date in March - I guess very cold weather would
be more likely to be dry.  When hot when you would expect some surface
moisture to be evaporated into the air, even if only from a swimming pool.
I did think I'd seen a June date as well, with equally low humidity, but I
might have been mistaken.  Whatever, we did hear 4% reported on the TV when
over there, and it was June!

Yes, there is confusion over how dates are written, and I've had quite a few
reminders recently, with hotel booking, airline flights etc, that the USA
often does it differently.  Increasingly the month is written, to avoid any
confusion.  I wonder when the reversal of dates occurred.  Luckily, the 4th
of July has been saved from the reversal!

Ahh but Dave, most sites in the US (not all) put the Month first, then day
when giving a date, so that was back in March.  Still... I recall seeing
dewpoints in the teens and 20's, and being as hot as it was yea... the
humidity was nearly non-existant.  

I think someone mentioned that when leaving the Pool....

I thought I heard 4% humidity mentioned on the motel TV, so I've just
checked that as it sounded very low, but it's there on the Golden weather
records (probably other sites too) at
http://www.goldencoweather.com/wxrecordsyearly.php showing minumum 3%
humidity for 3 June 2012, so it probably was 4%.

I wouldn't mind that humidity round my Variant - though probably the rubber
and plastic would crack instead of the metal rusting!

One  thing I noticed at the Invasion in Colorado - virtually no condensation
on  the cold beer can, but in the UK it was running with  condensation.

I too have noticed this at the Invasion, enjoying a cold beer with you on
Sunday night Dave. I didn't really notice it then, but I have since we've
been back home I have.
