Need advice for Seattle

[Ken Nadvornick]

Matt, I was at Glazer's yesterday at 1:30pm. Picked up a 50-sheet box of 11x14 and a 250-sheet box of 8x10 Ilford MGIV glossy paper. I asked where you were, but nobody seemed to know...

Oh, and it was raining.

I live in Vancouver, BC, and I love to visit Seattle because they get more sunny days than we do. A friend from Seattle, just yesterday, explained how easy it is to predict the weather in Seattle. If you can see Mt. Rainier, it means that it is going to rain; if you cannot see Rainier, it is raining.

If you can see Mt. Rainier, it means that it is going to rain; if you cannot see Rainier, it is raining.

Heh, heh... Now there's a person who knows their Seattle weather.

From this evening's NWS AFD bulletin:

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SEATTLE WA
935 PM PST SAT DEC 29 2012

CLIMATE NOTE...WITH 0.05 INCHES AT SEA-TAC TODAY AS OF 9 PM THIS WAS
THE 27TH DAY WITH MEASURABLE PRECIPITATION THIS MONTH. THIS IS THE
MOST DAYS WITH MEASURABLE RAIN FOR THE MONTH OF DECEMBER ON
RECORD. THE OLD RECORD WAS 26 DAYS IN 1971. THERE HAVE ONLY BEEN
TWO MONTHS WITH MORE DAYS OF MEASURABLE PRECIPITATION SINCE
RECORDS STARTED IN SEATTLE IN 1891. JANUARY 1953 AND JANUARY 2006
HAD 28 DAYS. THERE WAS MEASURABLE PRECIPITATION THE LAST 26 DAYS OF
THE MONTH IN JANUARY 1953 WHICH IS PART OF THE RECORD 33 STRAIGHT
DAYS OF MEASURABLE PRECIPITATION FOR SEATTLE.

Translation: It just rained 27 out of the last 29 days in a row.

Result: Video of landslide derailing freight train just north of Seattle two weeks ago.



Oops. I mean...
