wasnt sure what to title this. just a question. are there any places with weather similar to washington and oregon....that arent washington or oregon? like a lot of rain, and overcast. could definitely live without the snow....but prefer the rain and cold weather. anyone?
Washington and Oregon aren't cold, well at least the western parts. The eastern parts lack the winter rain. It is one of the most mild places in the country.
It hasn't rained in Seattle for over a month.
If you want cold, you want further north, higher up, or further inland.
It's not every day you meet somebody who WANTS lots of rain and overcast skies! To me, that's like saying "I want to be so hot that I can get sunburnt and need to shower 3 times a day because of the sweat". Or, "I want bitter bitter cold with weeks and weeks below 0 and little to no sun, preferably".
But I'm glad SOMEBODY appreciates that kind of weather!

I agree; I don't consider where I live cold at all. A typical winter day has highs in the mid 40s to 50 and mid to high 30s at night. Nashville's colder than that. Yet people seem to consider this part of the country "cold". Maybe because summers are relatively cool? Beats me.

The average yearly high temp for Seattle is: 59.87 while the low is: 44.95
The average yearly high temp for Nashville is: 70.20 while the low is: 49.40
So yeah, Nashville is on average ~10F warmer over the entire year. What's interesting is that Wikipedia says Nashville's average high/low in January is 47.4/28.9 while Seattle's is 46.8/36.8. So they are comparable for highs but Seattle is about 10F warmer for lows. Of course, Nashville see's more extreme jumps in the wintertime than Seattle which is more moderated by the mountains and ocean.

The reason Nashville's yearly average temp is so much higher is because it's much, much hotter during summer, and summers are much, much longer. I was talking about winter. Overall, Seattle has very mild summers and winters, yet it seems a lot of people think it's cold here. When I was planning to move from middle TN to Bellingham, a good 90% of the people who found out about it said things like, "Whew! I know I could never stand how cold it is up there!" When on average, winters here are no worse and are often warmer. But while it's still cool here in April and May, in Nashville it's already practically summer by then.
