I question whether this is true for everyone and it may be one of those
YMMV things.
Coming from a climate with as little as 10% humidity inside and outside
temps as low as -20F in the winter and going to a climate that
has recently gotten down to 28F at night with almost 100% humidity
outside ,I have found that I feel the cold just as much here in the
wetter,warmer climate as I did in the drier, colder climate.

In fact, at 40F with the humdity outside, I need gloves to take
the dogs out in the morning to keep my hands from stiffening up.
