My son said yesterday (age 7) - "This is my favorite weather, Sunny & snowy!"

I concur

The sun makes living here tolerable

I agree. Sunny and 30s is infinitely better than cloudy and 40s or... well, any temperature.

I disagree. Once you are at 50 degrees and up, it is just a matter of personal preference.

I prefer 50 and cloudy. It is warmer and more pleasant to stay outside. 30 and sunny is very cold.

I'm fine with it, I suppose. I'm moving to Florida in a few years, though. I love the rain here; miss it in the summer. I hate the snow, and the cold, so obviously Washington weather isn't my perfect fit. I love warm, and rain.

I thought this weekend was great. Dry, partly sunny the first 2/3 with some cleansing rain on Sunday afternoon. Perfect for gardening, running, skiing... basically anything you want to do outside of sunbathing.

My wife would prefer that we had Southern California's climate yet still have lush greenery and none of the negatives of SoCal. I told her that such a utopia has yet to be discovered.

If you love warm & rain, you'll enjoy Florida in the summer, PitDog. It's definitely warm, and it rains almost every day. Not drizzle or light rain like here, but RAIN, as in tropical downpours. The regular (non-hurricane type) thunderstorms generally roll in sometime in the afternoon or early evening after the heat builds up, and last about an hour or two, then it's sunny & steamy again. Fall, winter and spring there are quite dry--so dry that the threat of wildfires is often present. Before and after the storms, summer skies in Florida are really gorgeous, with incredible white cumulus cloud formations against the blue sky. Just beautiful!

Every day, I feel like I'm wasting away my life living in Seattle. By the time I move out, I will probably be bald and fat, and will have wasted my prime years here.

Bald and fat by the time you graduate in May and can move? You better start eating those Little Debbie snack cakes.

First of all, I'm graduating this month.

Second of all, this is a huge reason I hate people referring to when i graduate by season. Information gets unnecessarily lost. Besides, what is "spring" here anyway but "winter" with sideways rain?

Third of all, recession. How am I supposed to live somewhere else if I can't get a job there? I know a friend who has applied for 102 jobs. One hundred and two. Got none of them. And he has experience.
