кстати по количеству осадков у нас далеко не первое место. Вот сейчас например погода отличная, правда очень холодно Я своего гуся даже вытащилаBut the primary root of this rainy misconception really lies in that Seattle has a relatively high amount of days per year with precipitation (158), compared to such places as New York (119), Boston (127), and Nashville (119).  All cities that get an average of about 16% more rain per year than Seattle, but also average between them about 36 less days a year of precipitation.  So it rains a lot less in Seattle, but is spread out over about a month more of days than those cities. http://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2010/04/seattle-doesnt-get-that-much-rain/
