Friends in Long Island, sent a picture of their house. It was also surrounded by trees, in a way you would seldom see here. I wonder if that is because houses are typically better insulated/heated over there, or less evergreen trees?.
I wouldn't like big trees blocking the winter sun. It would be time to get the chainsaw out.

I love living in an environment with tons of trees. My house is surrounded by evergreens, hemlocks, and deciduous trees, including a beautiful oak tree. Unfortunately the hemlocks are dying of some disease so we're slowly cutting the down. My yard is a lot sunnier than it was 15-20 years ago.
Could be because rain usually means completely grey skies even in New Jersey.
About 3/4 of the time it rains in Toronto, the skies are completely grey, hours before and hours after a rain event.
Over here in SW WA, sun is often minutes behind rain.
Sometimes there's no sun after the rain,
but most rainy days there's always at least a trace of sun within 1 hr of rain.

Much the same here. A lot of our rain comes in short periods and often sees a total clearance, only for it to be raining again within an hour. Good for rainbows. Also lots of sunshowers.

I wonder if Melbourne's as lucky...
North America's weather isn't sounding very good, is it?

I remember Melbourne as not very wet, but showery when it was. The changeable summer weather sticks in my mind the most.
A lot of North America sounds hot and muggy as hell. I don't mind that sort of weather if work isn't involved (for a while), but I wouldn't want to be a garbage collector on the east coast at the moment.

Does Vancouver get a lot of stop/start rain, thunder, and changeable weather?

Yes, we get quite a lot of off and on rain throughout most of the year especially spring and fall. However, thunder and lightning here is quite rare, usually only once or twice a year at most.

Sounds a lot like Christchurch.
Luckily for me I live near the airport so I often hear planes overhead and it sounds a little like thunder.
