Seattle's dry streak is over.

For those of you who think that it rains all the time in Seattle, think again. They actually, just ended a record breaking dry streak at Sea-Tac Airport. The "official" dry streak was 29 days. They tied with 1982 for the driest May-June (or better said, spring) stretch in Seattle's history, then hit the Day 30 ... thus breaking the record! Of course, it's now raining in Seattle again, and here, and all around us for that matter.

One might say that we were getting the hot Southern California dry spring weather, and they were getting all of our rain for a month there. That was certainly a good trade off for us, though, I thought.

But, alas, summer has officially arrived and we are back to cool, rainy days again.

As long as it heats up somewhat so that I can run around in shorts again, I'm happy.
