Bipolar weather disorder

I love Oregon weather. I know the rain gets to some, but really, most of Oregon's rainy days are also interspersed with bits of sun, often streaming through dramatic clouds. Today, we were driving back from Eugene and, for about half an hour, the sky was blue and clear and sunny on one side of I-5, while the other was dark gray and pouring rain, with a giant, luminous, double rainbow on the other. It was glorious, although the sheep didn't look too thrilled to be standing out there in the rain.

I see a lot of people with fake-and-bake tans here in Corvallis who would probably prefer warmer, dryer weather, but no thanks. The rain keeps this town green and pretty, and we have distinct seasons, unlike California, which (for the most part) has hot and dry vs. cold and rainy.
