Paging Seattle, attention Seattle

<p>We have your weather. Please come to New Jersey to pick it up.</p>

<p>thank you.</p>

<p>Yes, you do have our weather. Our spring has been much drier than usual. We appreciate it!</p>

<p>I posted on my Facebook page the other day that I now know what it’s like to live in Seattle! I live in NY and haven’t seen such a wet, cool spring in very long time. It’s raining today and the forecast is rain through Sunday. Enough is Enough! Seattle - I’m begging you - take your weather back!!!</p>

<p>Sorry. Must be a bad connection. Can’t quite make out what you’re saying. Weather? Why, it’s been glorious here in the usually soggy PNW! Dry, warm (by Seattle standards) and sunshine. VERY unusual. Did I already mention glorious?</p>

<p>A bit of rain may be moving in-finally. Thank goodness. I need to get something accomplished and all this sunshine has been quite distracting. No doubt the natural balance of things will return soon enough.</p>

<p>Here at the Jersey shore, we are just drenched. I fee sorry for the tourists who picked this month to come. 64 degrees with constant rain is no good for the tourism business. And it is just too depressing to look at the 10-day forecast on weather.com.</p>

<p>I’m going down the shore for a week starting tomorrow. Spent a week there a few weeks ago–rained almost every day. Normally, we’d be swimming by now; I’ve barely worn shorts. At least we don’t have to worry about watering the garden when we’re not there.</p>

<p>I would have loved classic Seattle weather in the Chicago area. The weather gods did not even pretend to give us a spring this year (although I might have blinked and missed it). Winter started in October and ended last month; now we’ve gone straight to thunderstorms. I already know I want to move to California; did not need any more convincing! :(</p>

<p>My kids have been in Seattle all week - they actually expressed disappointment that they haven’t had a bit of classic Seattle rain.</p>

<p>Utah reporting here - I thought WE GOT Seattle’s weather ?
It has been raining almost non stop for a good 2-3 weeks now.
Mudslides will be happening soon and all over …</p>

<p>We had a couple of days of summer a few weeks ago, but it’s reverted back to rain, rain and more rain. At least it makes it easy to pull the weeds!</p>

<p>This has been such an odd spring in Seattle that the lawns are already turning brown.</p>

<p>Garland, I have been thinking that I have been living in Seattle! I agree with you. Seattle, please come and pick up your weather! I need some sunshine now!!!</p>

<p>Garland, very cute. </p>

<p>I live on Long Island. Seattle may have the reputation for rain but we have a much wetter climate. Islip, Long Island, gets 46.1 inches of precipation annually. Seattle (airport) is only 37.2". You might want to check your own local climate data. Chances are it is much worse than Seattle.</p>

<p>That might be, but ours usually organizes itself better. (big rainstorm, then sun for a while, then repeat. not this every day, or close, for weeks on end.) At least, that’s my view and I’m stickin’ with it.</p>

<p>garland - no worries, we’ll get your weather back to you by the 4th of July (it almost never fails to rain here on the 4th).</p>

<p>I have to say that 29 days without any measurable rain is awesome!!! But I’m a bit worried about wildfires.</p>

<p>Hello from a transplanted PNW native now in SoCal. Send Seattle’s rain down here for a bit before sending it back (but don’t send it back the first week of July, because that’s when we’ll be there!)</p>

<p>Maybe this is a little unusual, but not by much. After it finally stops raining - in the middle of the Summer - then the officials will declare a drought emergency. That is when I really go berserk and start cursing. If it does not rain for two weeks that should not qualify as a drought emergency. I hope whoever it is who is responsible for calling the drought emergencies has a flooded basement.</p>

<p>If they don’t, I got one I can send them.</p>

<p>I don’t mind called drought emergencies though, as we do not water lawns, wash cars, or do any of the other banned activities.</p>

<p>I dunno–this is pretty relentless, not to mention cold and cloudy even when not actually raining.</p>

<p>At least we are hearing less about global warming. Personally I want a warmer climate and think we should start burning old tires.</p>

<p>Well, I hope we are not hearing less about global warming, aka climate change. I sure don’t think my little temporary data point has any relevance! but why have this thread go there.</p>
