The only really enjoyable time is September-mid December, but sometimes it starts getting really cold in November, leaving you with only two good months.

Seattle, on the other hand, usually stays between 40-80 degrees F the year round. We don't get as much rain as people think. The only bad thing is it's overcast around 250 days a year, so if you like your sunshine a lot it might not be the best place. Me, I love overcast days so it fits me like a glove.
You would love it here in Melbourne then man, you should check it out some time. There's heaps of rock and roll and pubs as well!

FISH 1. Dude! There's water coming out of the SKY.
FISH 2. The sky? What's that?
FISH 1. It's that blue thing up there.
FISH 2. Oh! So that's what it's called. There's water coming out of it?
FISH 1. Yep, and it's coming down here. You hear those splashes?
FISH 2. (listens) I'll be damned.
FISH 1. It's so frickin' AWESOME!
FISH 2. That IS pretty cool! That means the pond won't dry out.
FISH 1. You got it!

(both fish slap fins)

Wow, you know you could just fill the pond with a hose.

Anyway the point of this thread is that we are not getting any rain and the bushfires are burning the fuck out of our country!

I want lots of rain to come and put out those effing fires.

Seems to have been a yearly thing here for about half a decade now...but yeah this time, they're allover the place, it's fucked.

Here in Southern California, wildfires are a seasonal purge that happens Aug-Oct when the hot desert winds (The Santa Anna Winds) blow across miles of chapparal to the sea.

It happens every year, but people seem surprised each time it happens. It's like living in a flood plain and being surprised when the water comes.

It's the same in Norcal where I live.....one teensy spark before November and you're screwed. Last year, we had a SUPER stupid drunk bitch hit and kill a motorcyclist on Hwy 49 and then drive on a busted rim, showering sparks down the road for over fifteen MILES.....three people lost there houses to the resulting fires. And some poor wife and kids lost Dad. I was almost hoping someone would kick the shit out of her......but at least they sent the police dogs in to the bushes to get her.
Too bad they don't have police lions.

Sounds like 90% of the peopel in new england the second a flake of snow falls from the sky. Half the people drive 10 below the speed limit, regardless of visibility and road conditions (it gets COLD, so we get a lot of dry snow, which doesnt really make things dangerous), while the other half drive faster and more impatiently than they normally would, like they are saying "Screw you weather!"
