My in-laws live in Bellingham, and we visited them last winter - there are a lot of cliches about Washington/Seattle weather, but I think lots of them are pretty close to true.
Yesterday was the first nice day in two weeks of below normal temperatures. There was an orgy of cutting grass that was too tall because it's been too wet. There was the smell of barbecue in the air for the first time this year. Today is gray, cool and rainy.
My former workplace had a rule that the first day over 65 we closed at noon. There was one summer where that never happened, it was terrible for morale.
