waiting ten...

In every place I have ever lived/visited [specifically: southern california, portland, the northwest in general, georgia, the south in general, virginia, michigan, and new england], I have heard people say: "Well, that's the weather in __________ for you! If you don't like it, wait ten minutes!"

Do you think that is true of everywhere? Why do we all still say it? Am I the only one who has noticed this?

no, mostly i've just noticed that people in western oregon and washington say it. and in seattle it is true, but in portland it is a MASSIVE LIE because what people actually know and hate about the weather is that it stays the same way for 2 weeks or 2 months at a time. you don't just get rain for a day. and apparently, we don't get cold weather for just a day, either.

now that I have lived in two states, I can say that probably every state thinks they have a monopoly on funny weather. I have to say, though, I love people who live in the midwest and complain about snow. Because it's totally a new thing - it's not normal to snow in December around here or anything...
