10 Things I’ve learned/noticed about living E. WA (This is all written in fun, mind you.)

 

~There is such a thing as “freezing fog.”~

 (What is that all about?!)

 

~I like the snow, but not the ice that follows!~

 

~You have to wait until late June early July for local fresh produce~

(I’m used to March and April)

 

~Yellow jackets, lots of Yellow jackets!!~

(Stinging, biting, chewing in your face, foul little beasts!) ACK! (I know the Lord has a purpose for them too)

 

~Below 25 is considered cold and above 50 is considered warm.~

(HUH!?) (For me below it drops 50 and its getting cold!!)

 

~65 degrees and above is shorts, BBQS, and car washing weather!~

(I’m just glad I can wear a ¾ sleeve shirt and maybe capris in the house)

 

~They drive slow in the summer warmth and fast in the snow and ice!~

(I know…I am still trying to figure that one out too)

 

~People call this area a “high desert”~

(I’ve lived in AZ, this is no desert.)

 

~People also tell me to beware of the “extreme” heat!~

(Puh-leeze! I do not consider upper 90’s and possibly a rare 100 extreme!)

 

~If you have a CA license plate all the nice drivers suddenly become rude, and the cops scan your plates more!~

(Needless to say we’ve changed our plates! LOL!)

Thanks for your comment on my blog. We lived in Chandler, AZ for two years before moving to MN. Now we are back in the NW. Talk about extremes! I read your e-mail and had to chuckle. I said so many similar things when we moved to MN from AZ. I hope you enjoy living in WA and that the weather gets better soon. It was 80 on this side of the mountains today!

Wish I could be there with ya. We could find ways to enjoy the area and the weather.

Oh these are all TOO true! I will have to snag them and share with my Spokanite friends and family!
As for the driving slow in summer..gotta enjoy the scenery...fast in winter...too cold to be out any longer than needed. Well that's my guess anyway...

Renee, it looks SO nice! The apples are adorable and appropriate for WA! *S*
And I am going to steal that feature where you can send an entry to someone via an email...way cool. Where did you get that neat-o code?
