When I visited my Bainbridge Island friend several years ago in July and actually saw Mount Rainier, he made sure that I understood that outsiders experiencing such weather were NOT allowed to tell other outsiders about it! :-) :-)
You had more rain than usual. Here in TV we had a h*** of a lot more below-32 nights than usual.
My daughter in St. Louis complained all winter. So did her sister in Denver!
Mother Nature does what She wants, I'm afraid!
And, yes, I wholeheartedly agree that it was a Nasty Winter!
