The Vent and Rant Thread

Earthquakes, dude!

Hey, come to the UK. No weather extremes here to speak of

And I was only trying to express.

That's how I knew I found the wrong person to at least want to trust.

So you had something on your mind that you needed to talk about, and the person you chose basically wound up telling you "Stop whining and behave, because if you don't you're not idyllic anymore?"

That's just sad.

Nobody can be the perfect, happy person all the time.

The extreme SW USA has very stable air masses for long periods of time - and dry heat without humidity. When I lived in Pullman, WA the summer heat often topped 100 F but there was no humidity - so I tolerated it quite well. The winter snows were another story. I still have my Army surplus ice crampons.

we have maybe five days in the 100 area, and that is rare. we don't have the humidity like you do in the southeast. we're coastal so sure there is some humidity because of ocean breezes. start following one of our network channels; kiro7, king5, komo4 and see what the weather is like. don't pay attention to the inland/passes, watch the peninsula. I'm telling ya! this ain't Pullman!

Thanks - I'll take a look at these channels ....

Just continuous rain eh?

And trying to get rid of all other extremes too, since the Duke of Pornwall brought his pet project to life

That is true. I understand that it is not in her character to listen to the things I was going to share to her. The huge bummer at the time was she immediately assumed what topic I was leading onto even before I got to finish my sentence, and while she was lecturing me (it definitely sounded like a lecture), she was going about a wrong topic.

That is why I appreciate people who lets you finish everything you have to say before butting in and giving their 2 cents.

No extremes, but lots of changes - high pressure to low pressure every other day.

[CRussel]

The coast of Washington state is actually fairly good on pressure changes, but up here on the Sunshine Coast of BC it's even better. We settle in to fairly stable pressures for the summer in April, and then in October we shift to winter and wet. Yes, there's a tendency to one storm after another from October to the end of the year, but they tend not to be big pressure change storms -- just lots of rain. The risk period for pressure changes is January to April. We go from low pressure and storms to clear and sunny (and high pressure), and then back. So probably not optimal for you at that time of the year, but should be good the rest. Oh, and by the way, that's the same time of the year that San Diego tends to have a lot of pressure variation.

That's to make sure your sinuses stay pumped up.

Thanks for all the info folks - I'm taking notes & reading up on your suggestions.
