I'd like to do some serious, serious, SERIOUS bitching about the Seattle weather.
I get squirrely this time of year anyway after having seen so little sun. But THIS year? Since October we've had exactly NINE days with less than 30% cloud cover, most days it's overcast down so far you can hardly see across the lakes if not raining sideways and this has been the wettest March since NINETEEN FIFTY.
I am seriously beginning to consider finding a place down South to live for, oh, January and February. I've always been a little susceptible to SAD (I know, Vitamin D and lights. It still doesn't make up for being cold, dark and wet all the damned time) but this year I am close to the screaming meemies.
That said, if Kim Jung Un doesn't wipe us off the face of the earth everybody will want to live here when the rest of the country is under water, burning to a crisp or weathering storms that blow it to hell.
How are you all doing? 
= new reply since forum marked as read
I was dragged from Seattle to Phoenix by my parents, and I don't think I've ever quite forgiven them for that crime.
We get sun over 300 days per year and it and the heat gets sooooo oppressive!
Gah!!
Then I discovered Seattle
It snowed here this morning and I'm running low on heating oil ($2.50 / gallon!!!). My car is so old it's going to die any day and it's 15 miles one way to the nearest grocery store. I'm on social security, less than $1,000 a month, and my roof leaks all over the place. My bunions are killing me and I'm all out of booze.
(Homage to Monty Python's Eric Idle.)
Be Brave.
The mountains got good snow this winter but we are below average. March is usually our snowiest month except this year. We are supposed to get some tomorrow, yet we'll see if that comes to pass. Damn sunny weather!
Trivia: People who like rainy, dreary weather are called pluviophiles or ombrophiles.
I was in Seattle for the first time last August. It is beautiful when it's clear, but I could not handle all the overcast/rain of
the Pacific Northwest. After two or three days of rainy weather, I've had it and am ready for some sun.
That being said, the increase in the number of summer days of >90 degree temps and high humidity of the south is getting to me, too. Weather patterns are definitely changing all over the country. My husband had the a/c on in his office here in February AND yesterday we had the a/c on for the whole house.
It's just crazy. When we first moved here in 2000, we would sometimes turn the a/c on for a day or two in April, but usually not until May. February? WTF?
Plus we never used to have single digit temps here in the winter: for the last three winters we've had several days in a row--a couple of times--of single digit temps.
From what I understand, climate change is contributing to the experience of more extreme weather in a lot of places.
grad! 1977!
But, I too, bitch a lot about weather this time of the year. I'm in Colorado and it's been beautiful since the beginning of Feb. Most days sunny, 60s, 70s and even some 80s. Dry. Like spring.
I know when we have a winter like that, we will pay. And it's now beginning. When everyone else starts being giddy because spring is arriving in their state - Colorado winter rolls in. 10" of snow last Friday, another few inches this week and tomorrow will be about a foot of snow. Then next week another storm but not sure how much snow.
It will snow now until May 
I hate it. But at least I don't have to worry about my house burning down in a wildfire. Only silver lining.
They're only human.
We DO at least have blossoms and I saw a hummingbird today. A wet, wet hummingbird.
