You always seem to get a warm up the middle last part of sept.

[MarkFromSea]

Maybe so... lived here 50 somethin years.... rain is dependable last week of oct early nov...if it doesn't come in sooner... Sept is(seemed) hit and miss on a straight thru dry indian summer till then. This year is a miss... and that's fine with me, need the rain!

[Captainzing]

I just read, we had the wettest July and August ever recorded here.
We had a couple of rains that gave us 12 inches total. It's unusual to be mowing green grass this time of year unless, you water it daily.

Should this weather hold out, I'll keep my pool open two or three weeks until I close it.
I think, I'm going to keep it open cause my lil boy likes sitting out here with me

There was somethin I read a week or so ago... that is related... I think it was this oct 1 2015 thru sept 30 2016 is racing towards an annual rainfall record... two partial days of rain, we should be there now. we had a new record for a month last winter also.

What's you average rain fall there? I looked for Illinois and came up with this

Average yearly precipitation for Illinois varies from just 48 inches (1,200 mm) at the southern tip to 35 inches (890 mm) in the northern portion of the state. Normal annual snowfall exceeds 38 inches (970 mm) in Chicago, while the southern portion of the state normally receives less than 14 inches (360 mm).

[MarkFromSea]

"With an average annual rainfall of 37.41 inches, the state of Washington gets 1.8 less inches of rain than the national average (39.17 inches)

Seattle has had an average rainfall of 36.15 inches over the last 30 years, which is 3.02 inches fewer than the average nationwide, and 1.26 inches more than the average in Washington."

It's just spread out over a longer period of time.... misty drizzly like is why we had a bad rep for so long.. and gray winters

[MarkFromSea]

snow fall would range from zero or nearly zero at the coast on up to 30 ft in the mountains due to elevation differences.
Mount Rainier/Elevation

14,416′

[MarkFromSea]

Whoa! 9,000' below the top>>> The Paradise area at Mount Rainier, located at an elevation of 5,400 feet, is known for its snowfall. Paradise once held the world record for measured snowfall in single year: 1,122 inches , or 93.5 feet (28.5 meters), of snow fell at Paradise over the winter of 1971-72.
