This isn't rainy Florida.  The rain lie is meant to keep ignorant people like you from moving here.

Having lived in Tacoma, people who claim that the northwest isn't all that rainy are just people in the northwest trying to act like they're better than other people- it rains a fucking lot.

Again, it has not rained at my house since I first posted in this thread.  Look at the dates.  It's dry season here.  Seattle gets less rain and less rainy days during the baseball season than most MLB cities.

I'm not sure exactly where your house is.  The University District of Seattle got rain June 26 and 27.  http://www.atmos.washington.edu/~neal/uwp/archive/201306/uw_local_24/

Yes, we have a dry season in the summer, typically mid-July to mid-October, with a few storms but a lot of sunny weather in between them.  The rest of the time, lots and lots of mist or drizzle, and lots of low clouds.  The think low clouds combined with the short days make November to March very difficult here.  Take Vitamin D pills.

This is a really silly and off-topic argument. No, it actually does not train that much, at least in terms of volume. There are many cities (those in Florida, as well as those like NYC not usually thought of as rainy) that get more annual rainfall than Seattle. But it does rain very frequently. But not during the summer. (Landshark, the fact that it hasn't rained at your house for a couple weeks in July does nothing to disprove the fact that it's really fucking rainy in the winter and early spring.)

Like moss and grass growing on roofs? I'm always a bit amazed at that when I visit the Seattle area, or places like Hoh or Port Angeles (and never mind that Sequim is a complete exception, located a mere 10 miles away). That makes people like me from rainy sub-tropical climates to tip their hats in astonishment. You guys get continual drizzles and gray skies, and not the downpours and total annual rainfall that we get.

Anyhow, just a joke...We have the nerve to call ourselves "The Sunshine State", which is a misnomer 9 months of the year. "America's Humidor" is an apt description.
