Mine was in 1981 when I was 10. USC was in town. 60 MPH winds and tons of rain. Dad woke me up at 6:30am to leave at 8am for a 1pm kickoff. Looked outside and saw that our basketball hoop had broke and blown over during the night.
520 Bridge was closed down. Took us 1 hour just to cross I 90 bridge.
Husky Stadium, I remember garbage bags by the dozens swirling throughout the stadium. USC sideline was in misery. Game tied 3-3 late fourth quarter. Chuck Nelson booted a 47 yard field goal. Huskies led 6-3.
Ensuing kickoff got caught up in the wind. Bounced around, pile of bodies in the end zone. Uw's Fred Small recovered in end zone for a touchdown. Huskies won 13-3. Went to Rose Bowl that year. Magical time to be a fan.

Taking a girl to the Troy Williams ASU game, losing, and not getting laid.
And DJ (the real one, not the degenerate here) was said to have given Fred Small a big kiss after that play in a Seattle Times article. NTTAWWT
I was convinced that they would play anyway and we were going to miss it.
Anyway, that was a long fucking time ago and it's a distant bad memory.
As we get close to the game, the weather is looking horrible 100% of rain/wind. she got layered up like she was going to be an extra on the Revenant, we have matching UW ponchoes. Literally the hardest rain I've ever experienced in Seattle, the stadium lights were on at 3pm, it rained 2" during the game. I couldn't even get a photo because the phone touchscreen wont work when its wet. At halftime she was all pumped up for a chowder breadbowl and hot chocolate to warm up. wait in line for the whole halftime and they've run out of both but are willing to sell her the empty breadbowl for $9, I shit you not. Cold, wet, hungry, and angry, it was the worst introduction possible, but probably the most accurate representation of my experience since 2003.
It confirmed every fear she had about Seattle weather, and she now refuses to consider moving there.
