Why is static electricity so hard to generate in damp weather? What is it
that water in the air does to those electrons that so readily rub off in dry
weather? Is it the polarity of water molecules that provide some kind of
attractive molecular lodge? Or does the stickiness of water somehow seal
electrons onto their home surfaces? What's going on?

Thanks, Karen W.
