Humid and Cold

Centennial High School

We got a slight amount of precipitation overnight, mainly in the form of sprinkles.  There was enough humidity in the air, though, to feel it during our hike.  This type of humidity makes you feel warm even when it's cold outside, as it was during our trek.  There were a few other people around the mountain this morning, and I noticed that two runners were both wearing only t-shirts and jogging shorts.   If you've ever done any running you know how hot you can feel when the dewpoint is high.
