We get frequent rain....but our summers generally are just beautiful...almost no rain, blue skies, wonderful gardens, and lots of mountains to look at...

Usually in fall, sometime in October, the rains move back in...by Halloween, the rainy season is here, and remain so for the rest of the fall, all winter, and early spring...come late spring, in general the rains begin to taper off...

Now the popular image of Western Washington state, is that it does nothing but pour rain, for days, weeks and months on end...thats not exactly how it works...

We probably have more days, that have rain in them, than most other places...however, often a day which is considered rainy, might only have a 20 minute shower...Actually the rainfall amt per year, here, actually is not greater than say, Chicago, or NYC...its just that we get a frequently, but may be for only a few minutes a day...

However, being as we really dont want lots of folks moving here, we do like to allow the rest of the country to actually believe that we are all water logged here, and dying of rust...

There is actually a place in Western Washington, called the 'Banana Belt', where they actually get much less rainfall than most of the country...a nice town of Sequim, is located in this 'Banana Belt'...

And yet, not too far from the Banana Belt, is the temperate Rain forest, where the rainfall is tremendous in relation to the rest of the country...

And we have acres and acres of evergreen trees, so even in the winter, when the deciduous trees have lost their greenery, we still have tons of green trees...

Our lawns are green in the winter, because of more rain then..in the summer, unless you water, the lawns begin to brown, which they are doing already...

And we almost never get snow, altho this past winter we have had several snowy days, an exception here...if we want to see snow, or do snow sports, we just go up into the mountains...

Its really quite beautiful here...

Be careful my friend, be sure to wear a back brace. We had a chiller go down at the plant today, luckily I was heading out the door when I heard about it. I have some major ventilation testing when I get back though. Take care.
