Christopher wrote earlier that apparently the Seattle area gets more rain than Edinburgh. Here’s yet one more confirmation.
Every Monday morning I help lead a community-based Baby and Toddler group through my church. This week I was talking to a Scottish dad who, some time ago, lived in Seattle for a year. He was at Boeing, doing a helicopter operation training program. When I made a comment about how comparable the climates are he said, with a slightly wrinkled nose, “Yeah, but in Seattle it rains all the time.”
It doesn’t rain ALL the time! Besides, even if it did, thats why it is so beautifully green.
