Damp is not a feeling. Its a measure of something.
The air is muggy/damp is not saying it's "feeling" damp.

Yes.. everyones opinion is different and "you found" it to be sticky is a personal description. Not an atmospheric one. 60s dewpoint is damp no matter where or who you are. Someone in Miami might not "feel" damp but the air around them is.
When I said its muggy all the way up to Canada I can't speak for the preference of millions of people, I was talking about the dewpoints and atmosphere itself.
National Weather Service thinks so too. lol. You might be one of few who doesn't think it is. Like I said.. Humid/Muggy is describing the air, not a personal feeling or preference.

Iberian Peninsula, my hometown is between those -1ºc in northern Portugal and the -6ºC in Spain, so it's probably between those two values.
The negative values are all from cities above 500 meters of altitude more or less.
