I live in seattle washington and we were apprently going for the record of most days of rain in a row(33 or something)but on sunday it didn't rain at all so we stopped at 27 days, and then on monday it fricken rained all day, and its been raining ever sence. I mean if it's gonna rain for this long we better get some kind of medel, but no, it had to stop for one day and ruin the whole thing, now its just raining for no reason(does raining have 2 n's?). Just some random things I needed to get off my chest. -Descoloda P.S: Feel free to rant yourself, its a free contry(Most of the time).

Here is an interesting rant, I just joined a Human Sexuallity Psycholgy class and I am the only male student in a class filled with twenty eight other women.
Oh, and all of them are about my age (21 if your curious). Okay now I'm better. Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay whose next?
p.s. Descolada can you send some of that rain towards New Mexico, because we're dying out here. Posts: 1941 | Registered: Dec 2005

Doesn't Seattle average like 150+ rain days a year? I had lived out in Bremerton and Gig Harbor for several years.

Descolada, I'm about 30 miles north of you in Marysville. It's wet here too. The ground squishes. And all our lovely top soil is draining into our neighbor's yard, something neither of us is happy about.
Sunday was lovely though, wasn't it? We spent quite a bit of time outside; got the Christmas lights down and cleaned out the garage. It was very nice, and it looks like today is going to be the same. As I look out my office window, our deck is dry -- a phenomenon I haven't seen in weeks.
Advent, I could mail you some if you like. Posts: 5948 | Registered: Jun 2001

Let me renind you of the "other side" of this forum, Books, Food, Film, and Culture, which is a great place to discuss pretty much anything that isn't about OSC.

I concur, but also add: The University of Washington (located in Seattle) has a fast facts pamphlet which states that on average Seattle has 210 cloudy days per year. Rain, I have no numbers on.

Oh man, Leah, that was something I definitely didn't need to know.
I used to live in Denver. Denver has something like 300 days of sunshine a year. I moved for love. I still think it was a good decision, but there are times I miss the big skies of the high plains.

I read the post title and thought, "Hey! He must live where I live!"
Turns out it's close enough. I live in Salem, OR, and we've had 3 inches of rain fall already this month, when we usually get a total of 1.7 for the entire month.

Why the heck would UW want to PROMOTE that it's cloudy so much!?
Of course, you'd have to be COMPLETELY insane to attend UW anyways, so, go fig.

My dad used to be a Kane County Sherriff's deputy. Way back when i was a wee little lad. All I remember is the constant rain and slugs the size of ciggerates.

I heard that Pittsburg actually has less sunshine then seattle, and that Columbus, where I live, is almost on par!
The first year I moved here it did rain every day for over a month, I think we all grew moss. The sun never shines here.

And only 4 posts in a year? That's remarkable. You must have A Life.
Don't be fooled by my inactivity here. I have upwards of 5000 posts on another forum. Posts: 8 | Registered: Mar 2005
