I sort of remember 2000. But I really remember 1993, when we got just two weeks of summer and it rained so much we couldn't mow because the grass was frequently underwater.

The cool weather I'm generally fine with (I don't like heat), the worst are the endless grey skies with no precipitation. We had three straight months of that right after I moved here in '83. I was almost wanting to go back to California (which I never much liked though living in the Santa Cruz mountains wasn't too bad), burning my hand on the car door and un-fun things like that.

The grey seems to get to people differently at different times.

But to get away from all the liberals... I can't argue about that one bit!

That was my first full spring & summer in Washington. I remember when I moved to Wisconsin I was warned about the grey days we get here sometimes -- maybe a week. I replied, "How about 3 months with no sun?" remembering that spring of '83.

We've been enduring about 3 weeks of mostly rain right now, and I'm thoroughly sick of it. That, high property taxes, high sales taxes, and high income taxes make Wisconsin particularly unattractive, IMO.
