You won't be laughing when your ditch starts filling up with cars...

Hell, it happens when it is dry and 80°.
Maybe she’ll revisit with a new car this time.

You know it’s late autumn / early winter when everyone stops posting in the rain thread because we can’t remember the sunny before times. I think we’re almost there. Congrats SF

Personally, I love this weather and don't miss the sun at all. Temps wise it has been great recently. Great sleeping weather.
We'll have four months of gloomy weather starting next month. It will help the moss on my rig rejuvenate and grow back to a fine green tint, but winter will pass quickly here on the wet side.
We'll pop a 60 degree day in February and stuff will start popping up and budding out and everyone will be happy, so bring on the PNW gloom

I'll start bitching about the sun next year on about July 5th.....unless we have a repeat of June 2021.

Don't mind the rain, do mind the Dark/Cold that arrives next week. Give me 50's...

The 45/35 high/low temp thing gets a bit old after a month or two.
At least give me snow...

I've looked at a lotta charts in my day, and this is the first watercolor chart I have ever seen.

It’s funny how all these supposedly humorous descriptions of NW seasons are about the same. Here’s another one.

Definitely spider season
The Dark Wet starts after the clocks get turned back most years

Is this the look you're trying to get?

That's close, but need some toxic algae dripping off the bumpers...

In between rain showers. Cloud formation is new to me:

@Stonedfish started this ongoing thread some time back, eh! I wonder, Brian, if maybe we should start a thread called SNOW:

I saw Wednesday's forecast and got of my butt and blew out the underground sprinklers and covered the garlic bed with a bit of straw (maybe the straw will discourage the cat across the alley from digging and ----

I'm hiking into a small lake Tuesday, rainjacket in the pack. Looks like a perfect day to kick around the lake.
