23 degrees AGAIN this morning!! this coldness seems to have gotten stuck here!
what's up with that?

Bruno, sounds like you picked a perfect time to get that mole removed.
Imagine if the weather was lovely?!

Mimi - are they predicting snow again? Vancouver's supposed to get 2"-4" again tonight.

Bruno - sorry that your head is sore. Perhaps you need to stop banging it on your desk?

Mimi, how do you guys deal with all. that. rain????? I think I'd be horribly depressed by all the grey.

until this winter, rain was no big deal. we get 32" a year average. but then last year we got 49". Rain instead of being a soft gentle annoyance became an ugly monster that unleashed trees and flooded down streets. A lady DROWNED here because a torrent flooded into her basement sound studio.

Our rain and our typical weather is something you can really ignore.
But Starting in NOVEMBER of '06, it became rather hard to ignore.
Normally, in January, we have ominous dark clouds (the sun doesn't get high enough to shine through them) but you can ride your bike. But not when it's FROZEN! There's still ice on some major streets, not too bad in a car but on a bike, it could mean broken ribs.
I'd rather have our (NORMAL) rain back.
In the summer is when I really appreciate Seattle's weather. While everyone else is dying, we're wearing longsleeved jerseys and raincoats... but not always. we get hot days too. just not very many.

That's so surprising to me...I always thought of Seattle as a very rainy place but we average 42-46 inches of rain a year here in Central IL. So you get beautiful scenery, a relatively mild winter, and less rain than us??? Well crap.

Queen, I grew up in NJ which has similar weather to you. I hated it there (weather that is) too hot for MONTHS, then when it rains, it REALLY rains.
and don't you get tornados too?
we just get earthquakes from time to time..

That made me laugh.

The weather here has been really unseasonal - we should be having sharp frosts and some snow. Instead endless rain and high winds. The rain makes the sky so leaden it's really depressing - the days are short and dark enough at this time of year.
