The Weather in Puget Sound
I really don't know how people have lived here and remained sane. Maybe they haven't, which is why this area produces more serial killers than anywhere else. Here is what I do know: the weather people in the Puget Sound area should just go do other stuff and they shouldn't bother trying.
A mere five hours ago, we were due 4" of snow with the possibility of rain by morning. So the kids stayed up a little longer, we felt pretty confident of a late start in the morning, we watched a movie with them, etc.
Insert now: whoops, boy were we wrong folks, no snow at all. In fact, it's going to rain and by morning everything will be gone. We're sorry. Our bad. "But it's really hard to tell the weather here, folks." Then don't bother.
I'm used to living in two different regions of the country. The Bay Area, where I grew up, was pretty steady. It was either going to be sunny, or it was going to rain. And they were hardly ever wrong. You got rain if they said it, and you got the sun if they said it.
Then in Boston or upstate NY, you may not get all the snow they said you were going to, but you got it. And you could tell when thunderstorms were coming, and you knew when it was going to be sunny.
This area? No. We had a summer that wasn't a summer at all. We are now having yet another maddening winter of "nobody can tell you what is going to happen." It's the weather lottery, and you just have to be used to not knowing ever what is going on.
Insane. I've lived here six years now and I can't wait to leave.
