question for Seattle folk

[ksmith]

Are things still green in December--lawns, deciduous trees? Do leaves fall? Does anything brown? I know it can be rainy.

And yes, it rains. And when it doesn't rain, it's overcast. galeni is right when she says to think of the light in The X-Files. Here's the thing though: almost every year I've lived here sometime in January or February, the skies clear and we get one week of gorgeous weather: mild and blue and lovely.

Oh! That's the other thing: Unless we get a freak snow storm, rain is what comes in winter time. It's cold, but it's not parka-cold like back east. People make layering a fashion out here, and it's all very practical: fleece, Gore-tex, scarves, touks (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=touk) (first definition at the link, sans the pompom).

This is super--thanks! I had found info stating that December is the rainiest month, so I did get that right. I'm pegging temps in the 40s.

Fourties is good. With day and night separated by maybe five degrees tops. And dark by five and until eight am.

Good info about length of day. I am trying to stick to the cardinal rule of not pinpointing days/times, at least for this part of the story.
