Just as I've heard, London weather is VERY similar to Seattle's.
We only average about 20% sunshine. Even that estimate is a little generous IMO. Near the solstice, when the days are only about 8 hours long, that comes out to 48 hours of sunshine a month.
Not as bad as spring though, when the days are both long and gray, and there's sideways rain, and in other places, it's actually spring. I'd have to say March-June are the most torturous months in Seattle.
I love winter. Come April, when it starts to rain instead of snow, I get pretty bummed out about the thought of summer coming on. The bugs, the humidity, the yard work, the sun that just won't go down soon enough... If not for baseball, I'd have no use for summer.
I've lived in places like south Texas that didn't even have a real winter. What a depressing existence.
I live in Texas and it is depressing not have a real winter
Anyone have tips for my car doors- this morning it was so cold I couldn't open them. TIA
They actually sell a spray/lubricant so your car doors don't stick. I can't think of what it's called, but you could ask at a convenience store/gas station or in the auto section at Walmart or a place like that. It actually doesn't seem to work as good as they claim it does, but it helps.
Got to add my name to this list. I hate winter. I hate the dull and dark days and the long nights. We average 50 hours of sunshine in each of December, January and February and it is very dull and drizzly, but mostly, WINDY. It also rarely snows here, yet on all weather forums all these cold rampers and cold weather lovers **** me off with their "oh i hope it snows" ah "oh glee another cold snap is coming" and they moan about the recent "mild" winters we have had... mild my behind Moderator cut: word changed . Crap more like. Get me to the tropics!!!!
lol you wouldn't want to read the australian weather forums then
I feel exactly the same way, especailly when they want cold in summer. People gleeing over the next cold front and cold outbreak in January really grind my nerves.
On the Australian weather forums, they actually made a thread called "your ideal weather" and of the 20 or so people who posted, about 18 said snow, winter, cold etc.

Thanks, Jammie I hate struggling with trying to open frozen car doors; I didn't get them open yesterday morning. Too damn cold, so I'm going to buy some of that lubricant today. Hope it works.
No, not when I'm stuck in Houston with 73 degrees with a dew point of 65
Must be nice
