Rain rain stay awhile

I've lived around Seattle my whole life and ice heard it all.

"oh this must be a drizzle to you"
"how can you stand a place that rains all the time??"
"is it overcast all the time like twilight"

The last one I don't justify with an answer...but I love the rain. Sure I can get tired of it but this year I'm welcoming it with open arms! The summer was like taking a vacation somewhere lovely and dreamlike where it never rains and no one ever frowns. But just like all you other humans I'm a creature of habit and I'm not built for skimpy summer fashion.

I prefer to be bundled up in layers upon layers of scarves and sweaters. Since the rains came I've taken to wearing to light scarves, a solid and pattern.

Unfortunately I underestimated the quantity of rain I would wake up to and thought of keeping my shoe choice simple and light with a canvas flat. SOAKED. not even half way through my five minute walk to the bus. I don't mind so much as today is pleasantly warm. But it is a reminder that even though I've survived my whole life without then it's time to buckle down and get some rainboots. Sigh, I thought this day would never come.

Another characteristic of Washintonians is we grin and bear it. We are rarely seen with umbrellas, waterproof jackets, or proper footwear. Makes it easy to spot transplants...

Any other weather cliches out there?
Enjoy the weather whatever it may be. It's a gift. The great wing could've chose acid rain all day errday.
