I don't think it's really temperature, but cloudiness that affects people. No one seems to understand that.

Man, 1000 posts.

The sun doesn't make much of a difference on me.

1,000 posts. The longest thread for the Seattle forum. Th longest lasting thread and the second longest would be:https://www.city-data.com/forum/seatt...n-seattle.html.

The cloudy weather and rain doesn't get me down. I go out in it regardless.

I vote that this thread be closed................even though it's the longest lasting thread for seattle, it's also the thread that goes around in circles more than any other! I check this thread maybe every two months and every time it's one person saying "it's not the rain, it's the clouds" and another person saying "it's much better in my sun-drenched state where everybody says hello and brings cookies to your door." It's a boring thread and nobody is getting any smarter by reading it.

1. Threads don't get closed because they bore someone. Feel free to ignore this thread.

2. The goal of every interaction in life isn't to get smarter...sometimes it is just to share some camaraderie about something, in this case, the peculiar cultural climate of Seattle.

Fair enough, ramble on my friends............

Coming from someone who has lived in the Seattle area for a time, I feel that if I had continued to live in Seattle to this day, this thread would still have little bearing on me. I never felt "frozen out" when I lived there. Sometimes it's a conflict of interests. I don't know, I guess Seattle would fit me because I'm a book-type of person and I'm constantly on the internet.

The thing is though, you don't have to be a bookish/introverted person to thrive in Seattle. I am native to this area, and I have a social life. I am a chill/mellow person by nature, but that doesn't mean I am some awkward pushover geek that doesn't know how to talk to a stranger.

Also, if I had to live somewhere where my neighbors would just show up at my door at all hours unannounced, I would shoot myself.

Cloudiness affects some, but so does arctic temperatures or ungodly high heat and humidity. Cloudy skies is not the only weather related phenomenon that can affect your mood.

The whole point of creating this thread was so that there weren't a billion other threads on the Freeze cluttering up this board. If you'd rather have a bunch of smaller threads on the same subject... by all means, try and get this thread locked.
