We had rare south wind ocean effect snow yesterday. It was in the single digits across Southern New England in the morning, and when the winds started blowing out of the south in advance of a clipper, the winds couldn't push the temps up from there to above freezing, so southern Rhode Island saw substantial snow in advance of the clipper due to ocean effect.

If you go by average daily temps throughout the entire year a place like San Francisco would be below all the cities listed on the poll since the summers in the Bay Area are consistantly cool.

Averages can be deceptive. Boston actually gets more rain than Seattle, most of Boston's rain falls in March and November though, whereas Seattle gets a little rain, often throughout the year. Seattle is rainier than Boston, but Boston gets more total.

Why do they still say that Seattle is a rainy city when it only gets less than a meter of rain a year (37 inches)? Many cities have a higher total rainfall than this total.

There are two ways to measure how rainy a city is.

1 How much rain, measured in inches

2 How many rainy days per year

Seattle generally wins in the second category, which is more relevant, IMO.
