The winter weather in our area is frequent topic of conversation in our household because Jane struggles with what we used to call "winter blues" but now has a variety of more formal names, because the lack of sunshine does seem to cause measurable problems for some folks.
I say that I was born here and usually enjoy cool, cloudy weather.
But even I had to admit that the forecast in the paper this morning for the next few days was a bit much. The high temperature for the next five days is predicted to be 48, 49, 48, 50, and 49.
The descriptions are:
- Decreasing showers, sun breaks
- Increasing clouds, rain
- Rain at times
- Scattered showers
- Decreasing showers
I think you have to have a degree in meteorology to understand the difference between "scattered showers" and "decreasing showers" and of course "sun breaks" is a term invented in Seattle and used nowhere else because of trademark protection by the Convention and Visitors' Bureau.
Anyway, I hope you all have sunshine, of many kinds, in your lives in 2010!

I can't tell if you are highlighting this week's weather because it looks good, or bad. The forecast here is high of 25 and snowflakes all week long- mostly blown sideways. I could really go with some 45 and raining... Hope there is some sunshine in your future- Happy New Year!
