Nothing to do with this Photo II

Sometimes I do this...I have a photo that I want to post but I have nothing really to say about it - it just is - so I will write about stuff that has nothing to do with this photo.

Today, you get this photo, with some random thoughts on the weather. Seattle is a bit weather-obsessed. People think about the weather, talk about the weather, worry about the weather, complain about the weather, and watch the skies. It's a big topic of conversation around here and I've noticed that it's a big topic of conversation for those of you who want to talk to us about what it's like to have moved here. Everybody wants to know if it's raining every day!! Which is why I tend to mention it a lot in this blog, or take pictures of all the sunny days and beautiful skies to show you.

- We are getting snow! Well, not really, but here's how it goes in Seattle. I have mentioned that the weather site I read (from KOMO4 local News) has some fantastic tid bits from the weather report that can only be described as colloquialisms/witticisms:

- "You could see a few [snow] flakes mixed in -- especially on the Seattle hilltops -- but no major accumulations expected. (So on the overall concern scale, this probably rates above what shipping method to use to send that fruitcake to Aunt Ethel, but below worrying about where to find a parking spot within 500 yards of the mall.)"

- "It rained today, but we knew that was going to happen for a long time -- a very long time. In fact, what if I told you we could have predicted back in February that it would have rained today with a 75% chance of being right?"

- "It is a wonderful week for rain fans!!!"

- "Think of [the storm] as a concert at KeyArena. The low pressure center is the big speaker on the stage and the wind is the sound of music. Those in Northwestern B.C. are sitting in the front row, those on the coast are sitting about halfway back, while the North Interior is in the back row. Meanwhile the Puget Sound is out in the concourse -- still within earshot of the concert, but muffled a bit.)"
