The obligatory weather post

There is a saying here that there are three types of weather: "Has rained, is raining, will rain". And this is not an exaggeration. It rains on average 160 inches per year, but only 25 or so of that is snow. Winter 09/10 has been very mild. Well, until we got here. We woke up our first morning here to 3 inches of the cold white stuff. Apparently it was the first snow since November. Lucky us. And then there are the 50 mph winds blowing the rain sideways (which was our 2nd day here). Since then, we have seen mostly mid 30's to low 50's. It rains everyday at least a little, and when the sun comes out, people literally run outside to soak up some vitamin D. It has snowed a couple times, and a couple days we actually had quite a bit of sunshine, but all in all, the rain is not too bad. Ask me again in a year :)
