a bit o' TD: yep, nothing but rain...poor ol' soggy, soaked, moss-between-the-toes Seattle! (I admit to good naturedly perpetuating the thinking that it rains all the time here)

I moved to the NW many years ago from a location noted for idyllic aka vacation weather - the Caribbean (after having grown up in NYC area). I've found that the rain doesn't really stop anyone from continuing to participate in whatever their favorite outdoor activity or sport is...and we don't really get harsh temps in either direction or more rainfall...but it does rain more often here and there is that 11-shades of gray factor in the winter. No place does blue and green like Seattle though, right web-footed neighbors?!!
