This is similar to Michigan's cloudiness record mentioned earlier. Seattle has measured rain every day for the past 23 days; with more rain in the forecast, the city may be going for a new record (33 days consecutive rain in '53)!

Rather humorous note about Seattle natives knowing who tourists are by their umbrellas--it's surely true! Having lived the first 10 years of my life in the Seattle area, I've always loved the spring and fall rains. However, I do know winters can get rather gloomy without all rain and no snow. Currently we're getting a Seattle-type winter for the most part in eastern WA--normally temps are colder and we get more snow. This winter it's in the warm and toasty 30s or 40s and we've had much more rain than I remember for the past 10 years. If only it would get a bit colder so the rain would turn to snow!
