Pretty silly to say one city is better because of a firework display and another isn't because of the weather and protecting the
safety of it's citizens.
Weird, because people come to these boards all the time (usually the ones who've never visited)
compaining about the constant rain and gray skies and drizzle in Seattle.
I'm looking out my window now and see the bluest skies you've ever seen..... sunny and clear as a bell.
The fireworks aren't happening because of the weather here in austin creating freezing temps and potentially icing roads. And when a city like austin rarely deals with these situations and doesn't have the capability to deal with iced roads then I think people will get over it. Fireworks incising people to go out in these roads and share them with potentially drunk drivers? All for 10 minutes of fireworks? Lol you people crack me up. Plus we can buy and blow out own fireworks here in Texas.. No need to go downtown. And the tv you have will broadcast a gazillion other firework displays that I'm sure no one here cares about.
Seattle's fall and winter has actually been very dry and sunny this year. It truly hasn't rained much this fall/winter, and right now it's sunny and clear outside.

Yes, the jet stream has taken a dive south and sending moisture to California and the Southwest. Believe me, we are doing raindances down here! El Niño is fantastic!

SoCal much appreciates some moisture, I'm sure! We're not complaining here up north, though. If by some chance global warming can alter Seattle's climate to be more akin to the Bay Area, I'd be a happy camper.
And I wasn't even talking about Seattle weather... As stated Above..
However since you wanted to brag about your 1 day every dew weeks of sunshine.. Congrats bud
No bragging
I was mearly pointing out one of the subjects in your original post about the differences between the two cities.
Weather was one of them.
If you don't like the answers, don't ask the questions, "bud".
Here's something to brag about; You can brag about the points you lose in the weather catagory just for your wussification due to weather.
(Imagine if Austin had real hills like Seattle)

Just an observation here. I have no idea how old you are, but if I were to guess based solely off of the juvenile tone of your posts, my guess would be somewhere between 13 and 18.
I'm really not even sure why you started this thread/poll, if you already had such a heavy bias. I have seen you repeatedly, and quite immaturely criticize anybody who posts in favor of the "other city". I guess you just expected Austin to take this by a landslide, and without opposition, huh?
Haha yeah I totally did.. No I actually think it's quite entertaining to see some of the responses poll like these garnish. I think a lot of what's said in this thread and this entire forum is complete bias. Half of the threads have posters who have never even been to the cities in the conversation. I am double he age you believe me to be.. And yeah I like austin a lot but have never been short of telling it's shortcomings (traffic, public transportation (don't care don't use it), road infrastructure, Italian food dining options etc) however I don't think Seattle is all it's cracked up to be. I think people on this forum overhype it so much all because it has the space needle and some mountains. Cool. It's a nice city but it really isn't all it's hyped up to be. And sure so is austin (overhyped) too. If I really cared or got upset what you thought about austin I sure as hell wouldn't have just purchased the house I did. So good one. Pretty much everything in a city vs city is personal opinion.. Weather, scenery, skyline, food, and such.
