Candy Making.
Perhaps this should be in my BS thread, but here goes. I make candy each year, a few of you have got some. Anyway. I made 2 batches before the weather turn to shit. On Christmas day I made the last two. Same things in the pot.
The last two are tacky, sticky. It was about 77 and raining, humidity was 100%. When I was a kid I would ask mom to make candy, she said you can't make candy when the humidity is this high. Well I was thinking, the ironass doesn't want to. Perhaps mother does know best.

Weird. I wonder why it would make such a difference. If you heat it for longer when it's humid, does it still eventually work, or is there just no candy to be had, ever, when it's raining?

That was interesting buster. Multiple references to it popped up when I Googled "making candy in high humidity" and they all say about the same thing:
