4. Our winter was pretty good |

Except for a 2 week period. I walked barefoot on the beach in February.

Although this year we have had more sun than I can remember. This city is always cloudy dark and cold. Even in August rare to see 80. Cheer up at least Vancouver is a pretty place. Cleveland sits on a lake named Erie.

6. It's a Vancouver record |
|
Back east, they might keep track of the (humidex?) but here we keep track of hours of sunshine. It's a byproduct of living in a place with a lot of rain.

8. I know the Seattle and Vancouver area are notorious for the Clouds |
|
But I remember reading somewhere that Cleveland actually has less hours of sunshine than Seattle. If I had my choice, I would choose Seattle or Vancouver over this place.

10. I don't think Vancouver is nearly as cloudy as Seattle. |
|
I could be wrong, but I know Victoria and the San Juan Islands are on a weird "sun belt," that keeps them a bit drier and sunnier than much of the rest of Washington and BC. Heck, the coastal area north of Vancouver is referred to as the Sunshine Coast, and it's been true whenever I've been there.

14. Victoria is much sunnier than Vancouver |
|
I've always heard that the Sunshine Coast is rainy. Kind of a Greenland/Iceland sort of thing.

Well, it's been awesome in the summer when I've been there, but so is most of the northwest. I did wonder about the possibility of it being a Greenland type of thing. Interesting.

we in Pittsburgh usually get that type of honor as well. But we have had a lot of sun this summer, for a change...
ps ( whispering) I like Cleveland. Don't tell any of the Steeler people. ;)

9. Portland's in the same boat. Paying for having summer in Jan/Feb/March! |
|
I went surfing without a wet suit (something I've done only three or four times in the northwest) in February! It was 75 degrees at the coast! Well, we had to do something since there was no snow, right!?
But, yeah, we've paid for it since late March.
Salud!

a lawn from seed and basically ignore it.

12. Now if theyre including smaller cities, Aberdeen, WA would rule all |
|
Since it CONSISTENTLY gets more clouds than Seattle and Vancouver put together

Is there some sort of HAARP type of thing going on there, sucking the clouds to Aberdeen.
Rhymes with Abilene.
Hmm. Great. Another song stuck in my head.
