Daily Complaint: The Weather
How can you people *live* here? Every day the same thing. Day in, day out.
Before I moved here I researched the climate a little. 'Little' being the operative word. In my limited research I found Cologne has nearly identical yearly precipitation as Washington DC, and I thought "oh, that's not that bad." What I didn't know was, as opposed to Washington where most of the rain accumulates from 1/2 hour summer thunderstorms dropping a dramatic amount of rain in a short time, in Cologne it's more dispersed.
A lot more dispersed. Like dispersed over 360 days a year falling mostly all day in some form of either drizzle, mist, or shower. We do have, intermittently and unpredictably, windows of clear sky in between the showers. But by the time I notice them they're over, often as soon as you turn away from the window.
Ok, so I'm a big complainer, and in DC I constantly complained about the heat and humidity and the OPRESSIVE sun pounding down on me all summer. And I still hate that. But at least you get some second hand vitaminD to combat the depression. Here it's reason #2 of why everyone (including me) is so cranky, unfriendly and never smiles. At least I won't get wrinkles from smiling or sun damage. ¶ 4:17 PM
