Snow

First day of december and we've got snow in Seattle.  When I first moved here I assumed this would be the norm. 

If you look at a map Seattle appears to be fairly north, especially compared with where I grew up.  However the geography and the jet streams that go over Seattle make it a much warmer place than it should be. 

It also rains a lot here.  :(

Unexpectedly though, this is the best Fall I've ever had in Washington.  The air is crisp and it's fairly cold but its surprisingly dry.  This is only really the 3rd or 4th time that it's rained here this fall.  And this year one of the times it rains, it snows (much better than rain).
