Mr. Weatherblogger. Unless you have had a family member go to Seattle in the last few weeks or have gone there yourself, you shouldn't bash the emerald city. Baltimore is nice, but have you ever had a Washington apple? It's the best, simply the best. The weather in Seattle is essentially perfect, just like everything else. Does it really rain that much more than Baltimore? Seems pretty wet in MD to me.

Thanks for that, Chris. Actually, Baltimore does get more precipitation in an "average" year than Seattle. We average 42 inches, compared with their 34 inches. We also get 18 inches of snow to their 7. But the problem is winter. From November through January, they average more than 5 inches of rain a month. And it only drops to 4.2 inches in February. They catch a break in summer - the dry season out there. July averages less than an inch of rain in Seattle. Whatever. It's still raining out there. It's sunny and 60 here.
