I don't mind the rain or over-cast skies. But I wonder if this is the rainiest stretch of 7 months ever. Record rainfall in October. Most rain December through February on record. Including record rainfall for February. I think March ended as like the 3rd wettest since 1940, and how many dry days have we had in April?

I've lived in Oregon all my life and don't remember a stretch like this.
 
We're getting rainy snow tonight, and then in 2-3 months it'll be 95 degress. Fuck that weather.
 
watching the M's game yesterday from my home in 84-degree Tampa, and they showed the rainy skies outside the stadium and I thought "man, I miss that" just as Mrs. FromWA walks by and says "Are they playing in Seattle? That's what the weather is like there? Thank Goodness we moved."
:sigh:

What a horrible movie. And Batman is my favorite superhero....George Clooney as Batman with Chris O'Donnel as Robin, horrible. And to think they almost did another one, Batman Triumphant

I am one of the very few who LOVES our weather. Man that's why our city and state is one of the most amazing in the country. I will never complain about it.

We don't get any of that nice rainy weather down here for more than a couple weeks in the spring and like a week in the summer. It's basically desert with over 300 days of sun. It's like 80s into October, here and Medford have been ridiculously hot with those drought years recently.
 
The weather this winter and spring sucks. We have never had this much rain before.
 
Rain doesn't bother me. I just can never really get used to darkness at 4:30. That has always been the hardest part about winter for me.

Global Watering.
 
I remember the 2008 NCAA Mens Basketball National Championship game (the one with D-Rose). It was in the 80's that day. We haven't even cracked 70 yet. By far the wettest, weirdest and coldest winter I can remember in my 30ish years living here. It's been a legit struggle for me.
 
I can deal with 6 months of cold rain. 6 months of unbearable humidity, you can keep. Name a region of our country shoes weather you'd rather have, and I can name a few reasons you wouldn't really want to live there more than Portland.
 
I remember when I was in the 7th grade and it was one of those rare days where it's sunny and 60 degrees. Came home from school and went out running around with the neighbor kids acting crazy. It gets dark, come home, no parents. 6pm... 7pm... finally 10pm and my dad gets home.

My mom, who worked as a X-ray tech at Bess Kaiser wasn't feeling good, asked her boss if she could go home. The boss said no and as kind of a dick about it, saying in front of everyone that she was just trying to go home and enjoy the weather. So when my mom got off work at 4pm she walked down the hall to the ER. By 7pm she was in surgery to remove a large cancerous tumor. Lymphoma.

Sunny days in winter always make me uneasy.

I was born at and lived like 2 blocks from Bess Kaiser when I was a wee young lad.

My mom worked there (she's still at Kaiser), my grandma worked there, as well as 4 of my aunts.
 
I hate the rain. I'm a desert climate type person preferably. I'd honestly have no problems living in Arizona. The sun and heat just put me in a good mood. I've never had a problem with like 100 degree days. Never bothered me

When I graduated from high school my mom was working in the cat scan dept at Sunnyside. I got a job at Bess Kaiser working in the darkroom developing x-rays for the summer, the lady who had the job was on maternity leave. Best job ever! Show up in shorts and t-shirt, blast the radio and spend 8 hours feeling around in a dark little room. The pay was 3x what I was making at Wendy's. After that every Christmas, Spring and Summer break during college I was working in some different department in Bess Kaiser. The best was working as an EKG tech in the ER. I would pull down insane amounts of overtime. Loved that union pay. I used to know that hospital like that back of my hand.

If any of your aunts were nurses and good looking I probably banged at least one of them. Especially if any of them worked graveyard.

Most were on the admin side. One aunt worked in corrective lenses, but I think she was only at Interstate. Damon Stoudamire's dad Willie lives in one of those houses along the hill right behind the building.

That post was just like watching a great, in-depth three hour romance movie, that has a triple homicide right at the very end of it....
 
California has felt like Oregon this year. Every damn weekend it poured, garden way behind schedule because I'm finally able to clear, and it's still raining. And snails!
