I spent 15 years in Seattle. You're either full of shit if you think it doesn't rain A LOT more in Seattle than other places, or you're list of "other places" is Portland and San Francisco.PostGameOrangeSlices said:
But the primary root of this rainy misconception really lies in that Seattle has a relatively high amount of days per year with precipitation (158), compared to such places as New York (119), Boston (127), and Nashville (119)TierbsHsotBoobs said:

Frozen winters > 9 months of rainoregonblitzkrieg said:
This. Exactly, word for word. Most of the other states outside the PNW have shitty weather. Frozen ass winters. No fall or spring. And FUCKING MISERABLE, stifling, humid, disgusting fucking heat for 4 months out of the year with all kinds of pestilent bugs swarming and biting you.PostGameOrangeSlices said:
alright Michael, tell me where a better place to live is? Washington, Alaska, Montana, Oregon, parts of Idaho.....you can't beat it for nature and livability. Florida, AZ, NM, Cali, and Hawaii are all nice, but have flaws, as does the PNW..MikeDamone said:

Disagree, the northwest is the best region of the USA to live in.TheHB said:Seattle vs. Portland is pretty much:
the NorthEast is alright, I miss the mountains when I'm there though. too flat. Chicago has nice parts and bad parts. The eastern seaboard is miserable compared to the western seaboard. Texas sucks.
I can't comment on the south as I've never been there, but I'd imagine it isn't better than here
Today I Found Out that Seattle doesn’t really get that much rain compared to most U.S. cities. In fact, Seattle ranks 44th among major U.S. cities in average annual rainfall, getting approximately 38 inches annually. Cities that get more rainfall than Seattle include such as Houston Texas (48 inches), New Orleans (60 inches), Mobile AL (65 inches), Memphis (52 inches), Nashville (48 inches), and pretty much every major city on the eastern seaboard, such as New York (43 inches), Philadelphia (41 inches), Miami (58 inches), and Boston (44 inches).
So why does everyone not from Seattle think to go outside in Seattle without an umbrella is tantamount to committing suicide? Partially because of the entertainment industry producing things like Sleepless in Seattle, Frasier, and the like which portray it as such. (Along with always showing a Seattle skyline where somehow the space needle is by far the tallest thing in Seattle. Even though the Space Needle is actually about average in height compared to the 25 or so skyscrapers in Seattle; coming in at about 600 feet including the needle. With Seattle possessing quite a few skyscrapers around the same height and 6 skyscrapers taller than it; including the Columbia Center at 937 feet, which has more floors, 76, than any building in the U.S. west of the Mississippi River and is the 20th tallest building in the United States).
But the primary root of this rainy misconception really lies in that Seattle has a relatively high amount of days per year with precipitation (158), compared to such places as New York (119), Boston (127), and Nashville (119). All cities that get an average of about 16% more rain per year than Seattle, but also average between them about 36 less days a year of precipitation. So it rains a lot less in Seattle, but is spread out over about a month more of days than those cities. This is why almost no native Seattle-ite carries an umbrella generally. When it does rain, it tends to be a very light drizzle that isn’t bothersome. It almost never really “rains” as most people from places like Alabama, Boston, or the like think of rain. On top of that, it never really storms in Seattle either. Seattle gets an average of a mere seven days a year where thunder is heard, for instance.
Today, you found out. Courtesy of google.
Seattle ranks 44th among major U.S. cities in average annual rainfall, getting approximately 38 inches annually. Cities that get more rainfall than Seattle include such as Houston Texas (48 inches), New Orleans (60 inches), Mobile AL (65 inches), Memphis (52 inches), Nashville (48 inches), and pretty much every major city on the eastern seaboard, such as New York (43 inches), Philadelphia (41 inches), Miami (58 inches), and Boston (44 inches).
Grow the hell up and take a fucking community college stats course. Seattle has 1 month more of "rain" than most cities. And on those days that it does "rain", it sprinkles that lasts 10-30 minutes. So, while the frequency is a bit higher, it's not that big of a deal. Unless you're a pussy from Portland like you.
You obviously haven't spent much time in Seattle.
I *heart* the 206. I miss so very many things about it. The water, the mountains, the diversity (Hi Delridge!), even the drecky sports teams.
But I do not miss the fucking rain.
I believe you are confusing "cloudy" with "rainy"
Memphis gets 107 days of rain per year, or about 2/3 as many as Seattle. But a day of rain does not = 24 hours of rain.
Rain here is like a middle school boy watching his first porno - it's over before you knew it started and makes a hell of a mess.
Rain in Seattle is like grandma wetting her depends. Will she or won't she? Did she piss or is that just ass sweat? Why am I checking grandma's depends? It's a constant issue.
I guaranfuckingtee you if there's a stat out there on "rainy hours" Seattle is at least twice as rainy as it is here, and probably well into three times.
This thread also makes me miss Race (RIP).

Totally idiotic!
Seattle is 44th int he country in actual rainfall per year.

By the way, Eugene gets about 14 inches more in rainfall per year. What do you say about that? LOL
When you say Seattle, you should just say how many people are trying to relocate here. Cloudy days, yes, we have a lot of those, but when it rains, you don't even really need an umbrella it's so light.

I love when Seattleites get upset when someone says it rains a lot. It fucking rains all the time. Even when it's not rainy, it's gray.

Yes. AM radio is dreckier than a 1000 Pac12 basketball seasons. REAL AM radio died 15 years ago. The entire AM radio industry needs to die in a fiery fucking mudslide.GrundleStiltzkin said:Can you guys debate radio broadcasting methods next?
@dnc you take FM, PGOS you got AM.
