The notion of micro-climates solidly describes Seattle area weather. Marysville, today, had the occasional flurry of snow, several moments of rain dumping hard, intermixed with moments of sun. Just a few miles east was pretty heavy snow. Wacky….
Our crappy weather impacts my activity levels. Getting outside and the requisite motivation became depleted when buckets of ice water G pelting down. Bleh!
Funny to see cars heavily laden with fresh snow next to cars that are, at the worst, very damp. Travelling a few miles any direction will see fantastic variations. My 20 mile commute, especially in winter, can see a number of different systems. I’ve traveled through sun, snow, rain and freezing fog on a single commute.
Out unique geography helps craft convergence zones, which are the fundamental roots of our wacky weather patterns. We lack consistency throughout the region. It provides some charm to the area.
