It's been bitingly cold here the past few days so I've been wearing wool socks. My feet are warm, but yesterday I got shocked ten times or more when I reached out to touch something. Static shock!
I hope that doesn't happen when I reach for my rifle!
Just heard an explanation for this on the weather the other day. During 'normal' weather when there is slightly higher humidity, the static charge that is building up on our clothes, etc. (happening all the time), can dissipate through the water vapor in the air. Water is a conductor, air is an insulator, remove a lot of the water from the air and you have no conductor to bleed away that charge. During extremely dry times like we have had the last few days, with very cold air, the static has no place to go, so it builds up, at least until you give it an alternate path to discharge.
As for me, I've lost count of how many times I've been shocked, sometimes heavily, over the past few days.
Flood your home with an inch of water. Problem solved!
Pretty much the same here for the last few days. My dog is now losing his trust for me.It's been bitingly cold here the past few days so I've been wearing wool socks. My feet are warm, but yesterday I got shocked ten times or more when I reached out to touch something. Static shock!
