Um... okay... so my roomates car says its 29* outside... Accuweather says its 30*...
And its raining... fairly hard... What the hell... If its this cold shouldnt it be SNOWING?? Or at least Sleeting (if thats a word lol) Or and Least FREEZING Rain... but nothing... tis hella cold out there and raining... and not freezing... in fact the ice on my car from my mountain drive earlier is melting...
This sucks... I HATE the northwest... Its gay.
'nuff said.

You should know by now that there are plenty of micro weather systems here in the northwest... might be snowing in everett but bone dry in downtown seattle.
Right now in Redmond, dry and cold. *shrugs*. I'm sure you'll get your snow eventually... and if not, hit up the passes

It was 40*(well now its 30*) and snowing(and sticking) here in Pullman all day:P I went for a fun drive, did some donuts in my parking lot, then went to the big hill in my backyard for some sledding/snowboarding, now back to studying.
Notice the tracks leading from the circles to where I'm standing. I walked inside and the girls next door were sitting in the living room watching out the window

yea... I know how it works around here... sucks balls...
Whats funny is when a storm hits Seattle and moves South... what always happens is it skips us an goes straight to Salem because we get these east winds coming down the gorge that litterally blow the storm over us... You can seriously listen to the weather on the radio...
Seattle...
Tacoma...
Olympia...
Centralia...
Castle Rock...
Longview...
...
...
Salem...
Eugene...
And have it go totally past up and dump not one snowflake...
And I went out and found snow today... drove the backroads from Woodland to Carson, WA then back hwy 14 to Vancouver.
Found some snow... tiw as fun... did donuts... slid around... enjoyed the cold...
Here a pic from earlier...

Well at least you don't have the freezing rain. I heard today that they had freezing rain in oregon or something that was so bad they closed several miles of freeway due to something like a 100 accidents!
Snow sucks, in my opinion. It belongs on the mountain. I hope it doesn't snow this year or ever again, except the mountain because I love snowboarding.

I think it depends on the wheels. I like the 16 Forester flat-5s on my wagon, but have seen other 16s that looks smaller. I prefer 16s since I like to drive over curbs and such and also tend to wear out tires quickly. But I like the look of those 17s.
New England can get some weird weather patterns, too with the effects of valleys, mountains, and coastline. On Cape Ann, we don't get nearly the snow the middle of the state does or New Hampshire. And when they got ice storms that caused power outages for weeks a couple years ago, we got rain. Sometimes, you can even see the difference just going to the town next door.
