How dry is it going to be in the winter? If it is really dry, I hope you are not troubled by Electro Static Discharge (ESD). You know, those nice shocks you get when you walk around on a carpet and touch the water tap, or someone else. Or you get them from friction between your pants and the chair you are sitting on. Your PC probably doesn't like that either.
