It makes my hair stand up some. Even the hair on my arms.

I take my keys out of my pocket and hold a metal key and walk up to the light switch and let the spark jump from my key to the screw on the light switch plate. With the spark jumping from the key to the ground source it does not hurt, but I can feel the discharge because the hair on my head moves. I bet the spark jumps an inch or more.

Crazy. It was hovering around freezing temps at the beginning of the week (albeit overnight temps), and tomorrow it's projected to be around 80.

Sticking a screwdriver into your hand usually is.

Probably similar to the phone call I got today for the guy who mangled his fingertip via Skilsaw.

If mangling your fingertip in a skilsaw is anything like sticking two of your fingertips into a R/C airplane prop that's running at 3/4 throttle, then no, sticking a screwdriver tickles in comparison.
