I'm a little bit of a weather hypocrite, I'm realizing, because I spend so much time during the the long, dreary rainy season longing for these idyllic long sunny days of summer. In that regard I'm really no different than many Seattleites.

My Nordic blood prefers the cool, damp weather. I'm really a spring-fall guy. This overcast weather has been a god-send for me, I was growing very weary of the sun and the heat. I just don't like it when the ambient temp climbs above 80. Give me those cool, mid-60's, partly cloudy spring and fall days, with the sun peeking out from behind the clouds occasionally, or these overcast in the moring, sun by the late afternoon type deals.
