      I really just want to see the sun again. Maybe in June....

          Coming from the east coast I don't mind the winter here, you don't have to shovel rain. Normally we take a vacation in Q1, but not so much this year..

            We're 15 days into the month. It has rained here for half of them. I'm so sick of rain.

                This would be an issue for me. Even when I lived in Michigan, and the rainy days would camp out for days, I had a hard time.

                  View from my desk this morning - I'll take it over rain! Supposed to warm up the next several days, resulting in a slushy mess, but I know there will be snow again soon:

                    @VincentMalamute those alarm clocks are awesome, I have one too! At first I thought $100 for an alarm clock was excessive... but my mornings have been way better without the shrill beep-beep-beep

                      @carsoffortlangley I'll take all the rain and pass on the snow/dry brown winters of other places I've lived at. It does make smoking meat fun.1215201052.jpg

                        @carsoffortlangley Aaaaaaand that's why we left.

                        Well, that, among other reasons. It's beautiful country, but holy hell, the dampness just sucks sometimes.

                                  @fintail It's the same here in Spokane. White stuff right now and slush later.

                                    @carsoffortlangley The cold, the dark, and the gray combine to make it miserable this time of year. I have snow right now but it will be turning to rain/slush later and still no hint of sunshine. Blech. I did invest in new flannels so at least I'll be PNW appropriate.

                                      I love the rain! And that's my honest opinion. There are other things I don't like about the PNW (fuck all house prices up here) but rain is actually pretty calming for me

                                              It's weeks like this and the snow days that remind me laying up the bike from late fall-spring is the correct choice. Too cold for the tires to ever build heat/grip, roads either damp or with de-ice (wash every ride), and dark most of the day.

                                              Does it suck? Yes. Though I'm now 1/4 through the projected downtime, not bad.

                                                  I live in lower south hill now. Snow looks like it might have either just ended or changed to mist.

                                                    I don't mind the rainy season, actually. After growing up in Chicago and then living in Minnesota for over a decade, I've done my time with snow and cold. I dealt with the Chicago blizzard of '79, the Wisconsin/Minnesota Halloween blizzard of '91, and the winter of '96 when it got down to -45F one night in downtown Minnsapolis. Portland rain is a nice change of pace.

                                                    I hate it when the rain freezes, though. Turns my road into a bobsled track. You can get down, but you can't stop at the bottom, and there's no way you're getting back up...

                                                      Could be worse, it could be sitting right around freezing and alternate rain/snow constantly.
