Higher humidity increases the thermal conductivity of air, and actually makes cool temps seem cooler. (Thermal conductivity of a gas is proportional to the reciprocal of the square root of molecular weight, how's that for a factoid from way back in engineering school?) Water vapor has a molecular weight of 18 vs. 28 for nitrogen and 32 for oxygen.

We are just plain too old to take much cold. 70 all winter long, and we are thankful we can afford it.
77 or 78 in the summer. Again just plain too old.
