This f'n cold

[apnutter]

Is anyone else's wineadors dropping temp like a mofo in this damn cold weather. This will be the first winter with my wineador and it's in the basement. The temp ranges from 59-63 due to the cold. The RH is still holding steady at 65% though.

Will this cold of temp affect the sticks?

What's the temp in the basement?

^^^^^^^ 59-63...... And they'll be fine.

my humidity has dropped, temp holding steady at 66

Same here temp dropping. Humidity holding at 66 - makes me want to get the drawers and shelves for this thing and only put cheapies in the humi my wife gifted me.

Dude this cold is killing me! It's 27 degrees here in NYC according to the weather channel it feels like 12 with the wind chill!! .. My wineador surprisingly enough is holding rh at 62-65 temp is 65

Basement temp is probably around the wino temp but most likely a little higher. I'm going to unplug the wino and see if that helps. I was thinking maybe the fan is keeping it cooler inside than the temp outside.

I was just concerned that 60ish too low.

I would guess it would be fine. I have mine in my room and we are facing the lake, my wineador in the winter stays around 50° just like my bedroom.

Surprised to hear so many of you say that the temp has dropped but the humidity has stayed the same.

I only mention it because relative humidity changes with temperature change.

My temp is the same but RH is up slightly. All good in SoCal

My wineador stays at exactly 60%, it's either the wineador or the 2lbs of litter. Either way it's been solid for a long time.

I was surprised too but I also have about 2lbs of litter in the wino.

Yes RH goes up in theory. (With colder temps) Not down. But being a hvac guy you prob know this. The whole "RH dropping" with temp drops gets posted here every year on threads like these.
And in theory it's exactly wrong. My vinos, every year, actually spike a point or two high. As the basement gets colder. BUT before the heat kicks on. As soon as the heat runs RH heads south a couple points.

I would agree that in an airtight enclosed space that rh will rise as temp goes down, I was moreso referencing that relative humidity drops indoors in the winter as 30 degree air can hod much less than 70 degree air with air exchange in homes the indoor humidity drops
