The one time I visited Seattle, I was able to see Mount Rainier from the top of the Space Needle. Our tour guide told us we were lucky because that was only possible 60 days out of the year. That sure can’t compete with Colorado’s 82.2% days of yearly sunshine.

Yes, but we have the mountains & Puget Sound. Also, it's a more temperate climate so we don't get the snow ... at least not often. : )]
Glad you were able to see Mt. Rainier during your visit ... it really is a treat!
I stand corrected... Perry Como's sterling reputation is restored!

Mmmph. Try to imagine that. I don't understand why everyone in Canada isn't living in Vancouver, since it's the best we got. I had a friend show me on a globe that Toronto is as far south as Nice in France, but we sure don't get their climate. It's all thanks to Hudson Bay channeling cold air into the middle of North America... also spawns the tornadoes. Can we fill that thing in?

: ) Wouldn't it be great if we could change all the weather patterns we don't like? Where would it end though? And what would be the consequences of our actions?

I keep thinking of the terrible vengence Buffalo would visit upon anyone south of the Mason-Dixon Line, if the glee they express in their newscasts anytime there's a flake of snow for someone down there to skid on are any indication... :)

Yeah, since I've almost always lived below that infamous line ... I'll say this as a collective. We are pretty much wimps about the snow. A couple inches and schools are cancelled, businesses closed. Though I should note, here in Seattle people are (for the most part) the same way, but it's because with all the steep hills there's no way to get around in that kind of weather.

I have to cut Buffalo some slack, though. I don't know what it is about that place... either they built that town in just THE wrong place on the Great Lakes, or they do the Peacock Fertility Dance backwards and enrage the frost gods or something... but man, they get hammered. They're south of us and yet they must still get half again as much bad weather as we do. And something is always on fire. Every night, Cheektowaga or Tonawanda is burning down. Must be people trying to keep warm.
A less than inspiring photo of the view from the window where I'm sitting @ the library. Proof that Seattle is not always gray skies. ; )

Something is on fire every night? Geez.
