I think Washington state and Oregon have their own "special" kind of rain. LOL To the best of my recollection, it seemed to more often be "all day, everyday" rain that ranged from misting to drizzling, with "proper" raindrops falling here and there over the course of the day, but mostly it was just drizzling non-stop. In D.C., of course, we have drizzling rain at times, but mostly it rains and soon (less than a day later, but usually within a few hours at the most) afterward stops; or it pours, changes to rain and then stops not long afterward; or it just doesn't rain. That non-stop drizzling rain for weeks on end just isn't the kind of rain we get in D.C. All the best.

I moved here because it was supposed to rain, all the time. I love rain, and I love thunderstorms. The only time my car here gets wet is when some fucker can't fix their windshield cleaning thingies and they point to my car! To think I fell for that stupid tv show marketing this place as one fit for humans! I even have the stupid dog! (not enough coffee, rant mode)

I don't actually recall ever being in a thunderstorm while I was out that way. They must have them at some point. I think it was fall, winter and spring when I lived out there. It wasn't a whole year in any case. IIRC, they didn't have what I think of a "proper" snow either; it was always just sleet and freezing rain that turned the roads into "black ice." Maybe the time I was there was an odd period.... I can recall plenty of t-storms in D.C., GA, SC, FL, NOLA, TX, and lots of other places. All the best.

Even the dog sucks (not really but why do a half ass job at bitching if you start)! Oh, I have not seen this window stupidity yet, but I'll make sure to position myself well if i ever catch a storm here.

New England doesn't get much in the way of tornadoes or hurricanes, but they get plenty of rain, and snow for that matter. Like the Northwest, the country is just beautiful up there. Plus, there's not much tectonic activity in New England -- no volcanoes, no earthquakes, and not much risk of tsumanmi, although if there is one that directly strikes the East Coast, it'll be a huge one. -- http://www.spc.noaa.gov/publications/hurlbut/ne-svr.pdf -- http://news.discovery.com/earth/weat...ami-110824.htm Believe it or not, the earthquake-volcano-tsunami thing is why I don't live on the West Coast. I really love the whole of the West Coast, environmentally and culturally, but I'm just not gong to put down roots in a place where the earth is without question going to move under my fuckin' feet. There are just no two ways about that. Period. I'm also not willing to live in a flood plain, which is why much of the Midwest is "out" for me. And no, I'm not keen on hurricanes either...so the South is also "out." That basically leaves any of the original 13 colony states from Maryland and points north of it. Seeing as my family have been in "D.C." since the late 1600s, I opted to stay put in D.C. Plus, D.C. doesn't ever get that oppressively cold, even though it gets terribly humid in the Summer. And when that happens, as I said before, we just leave and live somewhere else for a month or two. All the best.
