Northwest Winter

If this is what winter in the Northwest is like, I think I could handle it.

For the past 2 days, I have been enjoying a respite from the bitter and vindictive Chicago winter. Instead, it has been in the upper 40s/low 50s and misty. The only reason I wore my coat was because I didn't want to carry it. Or to ward off real rain. And I think it's suposed to be like this for a week!

I am sure after months and months of mist, it would get old. But after about 90 seconds in the bracing cold, Chicago gets real old.

But all the rain has washed the salt and sand and post-snow scuzz off my car!
