the weather here is awesome

I couldn't believe how happy I was today simply because it was sunny outside.

That makes me happy, because work is really slow when it rains.

:<:<:<

Bill should buy a coin-operated light box. He'd make a killing.

Aren't the air hockey lights white/natural lights? ;)

You can thank the current high pressure that we have sitting over the PNW. Within the next 24hrs the edge of the low pressure system off the coast will be moving in, creating a cold front. The result will be the formation of cumulus clouds until the system moves through or dies, resulting in that wonderful liquid sunshine the PNW loves so much.


And in case you were wondering my Weather final is next Monday. 8-)
And here's a link to a weather loop in case anyone's curious.

Rain=liquid sunshine???

Meteorology in the PNW is quite....interesting. Two mountain ranges and an ocean....yeesh.

As far as geological predictions go, we're fairly unpredictable.

I'm not sure that Japan would be much better, although maybe more awesome.

I've been told that the weather's not nearly as bad as WA.  Also, almost nowhere else gets these damn 100% overcasts as often as we do.  If I can't move there, hopefully I can go somewhere else in the US.

You can't generalize Japanese weather =P there are areas of it that are similar in ways to the Pacific NW, but overall it's quite different I would say.  The region I lived in, Okayama, had a lot of sunshine; in fact I would say the months from January-March had more sunshine than April-June (June being the main time of the rainy season there).  Even so, the rain they get in Japan is much different from the droplets we get out here.

I've heard that Tokyo summers suck, weatherwise, 'cause they're crazy hot and muggy.
However, this topic is about the weather a few thousand miles to the west of that.
Today I was REALLY HAPPY because it feels like springtime. Sunshine FTW!

I am going there on vacation in late July-early August.  That's the comfortable middle between the rainy season and typhoon season, and I'll be able to take some summer classes at UW, so that seems like a perfect fit.  I would have gone during spring break, but more than one week > one week.

Also, I'll take hot if the alternative is 400% overcasts.

I don't think I suffer from S.A.D., but I noticed that everybody was incredibly happy today, probably due to the fact that it was nice outside. It really improved my mood, that's for sure!

i read that and i was like 'meteors.. wtf is he talking about?' lol


anyways, having one gorgeous day every 2 weeks makes everyone really appreciate that day i think ha. i've only been living here for like a bit over a month now though and i'll be honest it's getting kind of old
