It’s the temperature difference that causes the evaporation . That’s all I can figure out . I have one open topped aquarium and it never needs topping off in the summer but it loses two quarts a day in the winter . There must be a science explanation for the phenomenon but I don’t know what it is .
Lucky man. Great running weather. We have started our third week of temperatures in the mid teens and lower at night. I’m burning through heating oil. This is turning out to be an expensive winter.
No , no complaints from me either . @gwand mentioned high heating bills and I’m glad to be spared that but I read that although the snowpack numbers look good right now they will be dipping into concerning territory if more snow doesn’t arrive . Billings is wholly and entirely dependent on the Yellowstone River and the river is wholly and entirely fed by mountain snowpack . It’s anybody’s guess what the future holds .
My house sits around 55% humidity in summer, rising as high as 85% on the sticky hot days. In winter, right now, its at 35%. That pulls moisture of the tanks. I never top up, I water change.
I don't need a wood stove after reading that, because my eyes, my eyes, they are burning at that image.
