I always thought that a golden marketing opportunity was missed that Lance's wasn't sporting this sponsor on his jersey.

Yeah, total rainfall doesn't really account for why our fall/winter/spring is kinda depressing here. Another part of it is that the lack of sun causes lower blood levels of vitamin D in climates like the PNW, leading to many people developing SAD.

The rain sprinkle 24/7 is the reason our downtown is clean. If it rained every single day except for 3 months of the year in a city like boston, it would have bum sludge filling up the streets.

I welcome our rain overlords, cleansing the streets of our homeless bacteria and urine.

Seattle Doesn’t Get That Much Rain

The reason they don't use umbrella's in Portland in Seattle is because they don't get shit for rain. I have never understood people acting like portland and seattle do nothing but rain. Philly gets more rain than Portland or even Seattle. Always triggers me, ask pretty much anyone about Seattle or Portland and one of their first responses will be something about the rain, but could ask 1000s of people to describe Philly not a single one would mention the rain.



k rant over, btw I love the PNW and hope to move their soon as kids finish HS

I think it's people from California that have never lived anywhere else that think it rains a lot in the PNW. NYC gets more rain than Portland https://rainfall.weatherdb.com/l/18503/New-York-City-New-York https://rainfall.weatherdb.com/l/201/Portland-Oregon
While Portland is slightly higher than NYC in the winter, it makes up for it with the amazing sunny sky summers. Having also lived in Hawaii for a bit, Portland is like a desert :) https://rainfall.weatherdb.com/l/79/Hilo-Hawaii .

Also you go SW from Portland for a couple hours then you do get into much wetter areas. https://rainfall.weatherdb.com/l/14850/Lincoln-City-Oregon

While not extremely wet, it is is more just overcast and gloomy from Oct-Feb like Alex mentioned.

1) @NWNatural responded to a call about a 3rd party damage (a contractor dug into one of our gas lines) at 510 NW 23rd at 8:55am on 10/19.
2) @NWNatural crews on site at 9:10am, evacuated building and were working with the fire department on scene when an ignition occurred.
3) @KelseyWattsKPTV Owner of Bagel Works tells us they were evacuated roughly 20 minutes BEFORE natural gas explosion. #Fox12

I was about 3 blocks away in my car when it happened. Got out, other people started milling about and wondering if it was an earthquake or something, since it shook buildings and rattled glass at that range. I briefly thought bomb, but NW 23 is an unlikely terrorist target I thought also.

Pretty crazy, hopefully the firefighters are all ok. I know one is in surgery now for his leg. Surprisingly no fatalities though, they did a good job with the evacuation.

Seems like we have more forum people in Portland than we used to. Kinda weird seeing us become more of a big city. Way too many people moving here.
