We tend to get "drizzle" through the winter though, rather than huge rainstorms that dump all at once. So, it's greyer here during the winter. Most of the "rain" here you can walk out in shorts and a t-shirt and barely get wet.

Now, if you go out to the Olympic Penninsula, they get about 140" of rain a year. We are in the rain shadow of those mountains though...thus a LOT less rain.

SHUT UP Steve lol we dont want them moving up here with us lol
