A little more detail on Seattle weather:
4 distinct seasons
lots of rain and cloudy days
summer temps usually 65-78 daytime, 80 and above infrequent, 90 and above, rare
winter temps 45-55 usually, about 10-15 days below 35 degrees during day, rarely below 20 degrees at night.
winter snowfall typically 3-12 inches spread out over 2-3 snowfalls, but we can have more or less
skiing about 70 minutes east at Snoqualmie Pass
Seattle area geography is hilly and rolling, heavily wooded, with quite a few lakes (Lake Washington borders the entire east side of the city, Puget Sound the west side).
Actually, I purchased a light to provide some ultraviolet light while she lived in northern Michigan — also got a light for my son in North Dakota—both said the lights helped.
How on earth can you say there are 4 distinct seasons when there is only a 20 degree difference between the summer and winter averages?
I’m not looking for an argument but that mystifies me.
