Heh, heh... Now there's a person who knows their Seattle weather.Originally Posted by silverhalides
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...

"The richness of the experience that occurs when one is exposed tangibly to a subject, material, or process is unmatchable in the abstract... Thus, when 'touch it,' 'taste it,' smell it' become the watchwords, the results are most often extraordinary. Equally extraordinary are the lengths to which people will go to avoid [that] experience."
— Tom Peters and Robert H. Waterman Jr., In Search of Excellence, 1982
