When the Hell Did We Move to Seattle?

[gophergeorge]

Enough already!

Do you realize it has been raining since we went to Stage One Water Restrictions about 2 years ago?

Just think of the water we would have if we would have built Applewhite!

And.... My 5 year-old's field trip to the zoo was cancelled, so now I get to go to the movies with 30 other rugrats!

If I wanted to live where it rains all the damm time, I'd move there!

For the Love of God...make it stop!!!

No kidding.....I've been looking online for an anti-rain dance. This stuff is getting OLD. :fro

Steve Browne says it's an El Nino year. Plenty more to come. He also said that if this was December, we'd be having major ice storms.

Another reason I don't live in Minnesota (anymore)!

Same reason my family moved from Ohio to California 20+ years ago.

[bigzak25]

[Shelly]

Oh, and we are very close to breaking the record of the all time high in the aquifer

Aquifer Level
699.8'
Unofficial - Updated Hourly

The record is 701 or 702?

Everyone says that it's been raining in San Antonio since I moved here (Aug 2002) and that's pretty true. It's a rarity that a week goes by without it raining.

[KEDA]

Brent Barry brought the Seattle rains with him!

[Jimcs50]

Seattle actually has less annual rainfall than a lot of Texas cities. Houston, College Station get more and even SA gets just a little more than Seattle.

[tlongII]

You should guys should try living here.

Jim, that annual rainfall info is mis-leading. It measures the inches of rain that have fallen during a year. In the Pacific Northwest you don't often see heavy rainstorms. It is basically a constant drizzle for 8 or 9 months during the year. It can be pretty depressing if you're not prepared for it.

The Pacific NW is an area I think I'd like to live in someday. One of my friends lives in Tacoma and he loves the whole area.

[Jimcs50]

tlong, I want to live there in Portland from May-September one day.

[Useruser666]

By the way...

I think I'm going to start a low water crossing tour business.

$10 per person gets you a senic trip through SA's most famous low water crossings. While they're flooded of course!

That's how I felt about San Francisco. The part of town we lived in was constantly fogged in while downtown would be bright and sunny. 4 years of that crap was very depressing. I hated living there.

[AlamoSpursFan]

I ain't bitchin' at all. I've lived through WAY too many no-rain, dig the well deeper or the cows will die of thirst, 110 degrees in the shade, asphalt-melting South Texas spring/summer/falls.

Bring it ON!!!

(Of course my Toyota POS Camry didn't appreciate the river I tried to drive it through in front of Labatt Foods yesterday on my way to work... :lol)

WOW! It's hard for me to imagine anyone being depressed about living in San Francisco. I love it there.

Best city in the world IMO.

Speaking of rain...hey Blaze: BOHICA!

And guess who would still have classes if I had anymore today?

Only reason I'm still in SM is I have an interview with the Student Attorney because I'm producing a PSA for them as my final in one class and I have an interview for News Editor of The University Star after that.

But tonight, I'll be home in Ol' San Antone.

BTW, the skies just opened up outside my window.

Living there and visiting there are two different things. When you live there, you don't see the 'sights' as you would visiting. I've been in SA for 7 years and there are lots of places I haven't been to here.

1) It's insanely expensive. We were paying $1000/mo for a row house rental that still had the original everything from when it was built in the early '60s. This was from 1992-1996. I can imagine what it goes for now. Also, we were broke when we lived there. So maybe if were to go back now, things would be different, but I really have no desire to. We may take the kids back one day, since that's where they were born. Even my husband, who LOVED SF before we moved there had a different view of it after living there.

2) Like I said, we didn't live 'downtown'. The fog rarely lifted in my part and that got very depressing.

3) I would pick Marin county over the city any day.

I don't think it's the weather that TLong and Jim like about San Francisco hehehe

[Shelly]

:lol

Yeah, I do remember Jimbo saying he was rather fond of Castro street.

[Jimcs50]

CC, wherever did you get my photo album from? That is tlong and me with a few of our buddies at the Harvey Milk Plaza last Summer.

:)

tlong is in the middle.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

tlong is in the middle.

How many times has THAT been true?

On a side note: San Antonio is once again in the good graces of the mainstream media because of our citizens' uncanny ability to find low-water crossings.

El Nino starts off in the middle of the Pacific, why can't it be a Chinese boy? Why can't it be a Hawaiian surfer? Why is it a NINO? WHY?

[bigzak25]

it's nino cuz farley said so....

The row-adds are all flooded when it rains here. Hehehe row-adds.

[Duff McCartney]

"Row-ads.....Vroogs!"

Amen.

That's funny, it's been unusually sunny in WA state for November.
