Inform the press, start the parade, send in the dancing girls, after 10 months of planning I am finally firmly on Austin soil. Got in last night and OF COURSE I WAKE UP TO OVERCAST SKIES after leaving Seattle Yes I did bring the crummy weather with me So happy to be back after so many years. We actually moved into a rental just a few doors down from our old house. Who says you can't go back.

I went to Trudy's last night and drank a $3.50 margarita! That's half of what I paid up north! (Yes it was the drink special, but still.) And oh the spicy food - how I've missed it! Restaurant service that aint surly! Friendly people everywhere, just like I remember!

It's great to be back!

Oh honey! Welcome and we sure hope that you brought the Seattle rain with you. We need it so very badly.

There will be plenty of bright blue skies and sunny days ahead, trust us! But we could use a whole lot of rain. (At this point, we'd take freezing rain or snow too)

Glad you made it. And yes, the overcast skies are right out of an up north winter. The kind that make you say "what is that thing up there?" when the sun finally comes out again.

I noticed that the forecast is now calling for a chance of ice tomorrow.

Aren't you glad you got out of that cold overcast Seattle?

You're the one that brought the drizzle? That only amplifies the welcome! Glad you made it.

Welcome back. More rain, please! I visited Seattle a few years back and one of the first things I noticed was the surly service...everywhere. I'm from NY so the surliness has to be pretty high for me to notice!

Welcome back, I totally understand the Seattle to Austin experience. We are trying to ease you back into seeing the sun again.

That's cool! I've been reading your posts for awhile... after 8 years in Seattle, I am itching to move back to Austin, where I lived in the late 90s. This forum is really helping me plan for that move.

This morning (1/27) in Seattle, we have snow flurries...
