The Northwest is beautiful. We have high alpine areas, fields of mountain wild flowers, beautiful subalpine mountain lakes teaming with small brook trout, lots and lots of green and no shortage of wildlife.
Sometimes though....what makes those areas green and lush can also be hard to tolerate. I for one need to go to my happy place and dream of summer. We've reverted back to January around here and no one bothered to ask my opinion on the subject :). Hey... Al Gore... about that global warming....
From today:
We've had 12 May days where the temperature didn't reach 60 degrees. We have not had a "sunny" day (70% or more sunshine) since May 14. Overall, the average temperature in May was 2.7 degrees cooler than normal, making it the coolest May since 2002. Rainfall, as you would expect, was above normal; Seattle had 36% more rain than average this past month.
