- com2kid 5y agoI'm in Seattle, we are the US definition of overcast. 62% of our days have heavy could cover. SF doesn't even make the top 10 list of America's cloudiest cities. :)
- carapace 5y agoBut the clouds up there are gorgeous! Here we just get a grey blanket.
- nharada 5y agoIt's very neighborhood dependent, if you want to live somewhere sunny you definitely can.
- carapace 5y agoYeah, this. The folks above almost certainly live in the lee of Twin Peaks. Out here in the Western part of the city we have Winter and what I like to call the "Season of Cold Winds".
- pengaru 5y agoSo true. Driving up to SF from San Mateo often caused us to question the sanity of people paying so much to live in such a terrible micro-climate. We'd often be leaving clear and sunny, t-shirt and shorts weather, to enter what looked like an apocalyptic storm-chasers situation of cold, wet, doom and gloom. Makes for great sailing year-round on the bay though!
