The humidity list doesn't give an accurate picture of heat and humidity. That list has cities in Washington near the top.

Heat index is a better tool.

Heat Index List

Looks like Houston, Dallas, Jacksonville, Memphis and New Orleans are hot as hell

That listing only involves the top US cities. South Carolina is a small state with a small population, and therefore none of our cities make the source data to even apply for this listing, making this listing pretty irrelevant...


Try this one:

Annual Average Humidity Per State

It shows Texas with a year-round average of 82% humidity in the morning-times, and 49% humidity in the afternoons, using Dallas as their reference point. South Carolina's annual average is 86% in the morning times, and 49% in the afternoons, same as TX's. They use Columbia as SC's reference point. Only Mississippi's high of 91%, and FL's and LA's high of 87% is listed as higher than SC's annual average...


Then check out the summer months average per state:

Average Summer Humidity Per State

South Carolina's average summertime humidity is 91% in the morning hours, and 54% in the afternoon hours. Texas's Summertime averages are 82% in the morning-time, and 44% in the afternoon. Which is interesting, because the summer-time %s are lower than the annual %s for Dallas, TX. Suggesting that perhaps the summer-time heat in TX burns away the humidity??

The average annual precipitation per state:

Average Annual Precipitation Per State

Has SC with nearly double the annual average (49.8 inches) of precipitation (we don't get much snow, so that means rain) than TX (28.9 inches). And in the summer-time months:

Average Summer Precipitation Per State

Has SC with again nearly double (5.02) the average precipitation in the months of June-August than TX (2.71). I can't see how any state would regularly have higher humidity levels over any other state that gets twice the average rainfall than it gets...

Dallas isn't the same as CS or Houston weather wise. It is nearly 200 miles from CS and farther from Houston and in a different weather pattern due to the jet stream and the proximity to the Gulf.

CS has an average humidity of 77.4% which is basically the same as Gainesville.

Southerners didn't eat pork "cuz they was poor." Pigs are easier to raise in hilly, heavily forested areas. Clearing out dense swaths of forest just to raise cattle is a waste of energy. Even now, I rarely see cattle farms here. Hogs and chickens, damn near everywhere.

Beef isn't barbecue, and men shouldn't be your only cheerleaders. Y'all do everything wrong.

I love properly cooked pulled pork. I even have a BBQ business that specializes in it. Still, to say that beef isn't BBQ is beyond stupid. In Texas we do beef, pork, and chicken because we raise them all in large quantities in God's country. It is a very rare person that tries great brisket next to great pulled pork though and honestly likes the pork better. Problem is that most people have only had quality of one or the other cause folks in Texas generally aren't good with pulled pork and folks in the Carolinas look at Brisket and don't know where to start.

One thing that does lose me on the Carolinas is far too many BBQ places there drench their pork in sauce. If you need sauce for your meat that's like a giant sign that you don't make good BBQ. Having it on the side is fine but all great bbq meat must stand on its own to even be above average.

Texas tends to focus more on ribs and even pork loin for BBQ than pork butt. There are a few of us though that can appreciate the greatness of both pulled pork and brisket.

Maybe we just make really good sauce.

Funny though, first day here I hit up a local BBQ joint and I did in fact drench it in sauce.

No, I saw that come up when I was looking around. Went to J.Cody's.

eta: Not saying the food was bad so I had to sauce it, I sauced it without even trying it first. Out of Carolina habit I suppose.

J Codys is meh. Fargo's is good. If you want to get real authentic head to out to Snows in Lexington on a Saturday early

Yeah I usually don't care much for reading reviews online because a lot of the times the only people willing to go on and write them are people that are all pissed off about something. Usually just look at the menu and see if there is anything I like.

This time though I did look it up, looked up some reviews and stuff. Fargo's came up a bunch but I think I saw people said it had moved and it had really drug down the atmosphere it had going for it at it's old location?
