Charley, I couldnt tell ya.....maybe one of those weather web sites could. Also I think there has to be a certain minimum inch total to count as rain ????
Are you implying we get MANY days of drippy overcast weather......well you already know we do.........
Like I already said, I wish you NO ill will and I trust ALL your bldgs and possesions stay high and dry
As well I hope Phoenix is drier than last year during B/J

I get mildly upset/amused when unknowledgeable people badmouth "Seattle's" rain, when so many other areas of the country have MUCH more

Uh-oh, now the cat's out of the bag Chuck. Our well-kept secret of mild, often sunny winters has been divulged!

Actually, I think it's the long periods of gray skies more than the actual rainfall that scares-off more migration to the Pacific-Northwest (PNW). Add to the long periods of gray skies a winter-type rain storm for several days over the 4th of July--stuff like that--that gives credit to the myth of PNW weather.

I'm one of those awful Californians who have relocated to the PNW (via the air force) and I like it here because of the similarity to the S.F. Bay Area where I grew up. I tell my California buddies that Seattle today reminds me of the Bay Area in about 1970: not yet smothered by overpopulation and the subsequent problems.

Uh-oh, I think I've let another cat out of the bag...
