That's truly magical. :) I love stormy weather, but it's definitely not rare. Especially right now.

I wish you would get over here to England so I could show you around!! I have to say though, today we woke to glorious blue skies and sunshine, however no humidity and a maximum temperature of 24C (76F) - very civilised. Perfect G&T in the garden weather ;) <em>Penelope's last blog post: <a href="http://www.itsmepenelope.com/2008/06/whomever-this-slipper-fits.html" rel="nofollow">Whomever this slipper fits.</a></em> This made me smile!!

Gray weather and lots of melancholy types. There's a reason Seattle is one of the most fit/active cities in America. We'd lose our heads in all this crap weather if we didn't! But I have found it funny that people here get all up in arms about the "storms" when really it's not that big of a deal. And why can't Seattleites drive in the rain? I mean, we get enough practice. <em>sizzle's last blog post: <a href="http://sizzlesays.wordpress.com/2008/06/09/way-to-bowl-me-over-buddy/" rel="nofollow">Way To Bowl Me Over, Buddy</a></em> I swear sometimes here in Seattle I could easily think I am in England.

Hotel workers talked about "waking up their kids to see lightning." I couldn't believe it was such a big deal, but I guess it is when you don't normally see weather like that. One of my co-workers -- who sleeps with his patio door open while in SD -- slept right through it. He was more flabbergasted by all of the thunderstorm talk than I was. Nice piece. :)
