OT: Lack of humidity due to heater

[thekingfish]

I thought that Seattle with all its rain would be humid.
But the air in a room where I have a space heater on feels dry to me.
It would seem logical for a heater to dry out the air somewhat but
will it dry out enough for me to really notice?
Will it dry it out enough to merit a humidifier?
I never thought I would even think of using a humidifier in the NW.

I know that a humidifier is even recommended here in the North West, for a 3-month old's room... but personally I have never noticed it being too dry for me.

I also have a habit of opening a window in my house, just for what I concider "fresh air movement"... which I'm sure is allowing the outside humidity into my house. This may also help in your situation?

Time to get another aquarium for that room. That should provide plenty of humidity.
