It is 4 hours and 1 mountain pass from Seattle and I think those mountains stop most of the rain because we have hardly seen any and supposedly we moved here in the rainy season. When we told people we were moving to Spokane, WA they said "oh, it rains".no, it really doesn't rain a whole lot here. I do not think there is much humidity here, I cannot stand the humidity either.I could never live on the east coast because of that reason. The weather today is supposed to be 80, which I am loving because family and friends back home are already sweating at 98. However, from what I hear it doesn't get too bad only an occasional heavy drop of snow. I'm sure we will get one for next winter as we will be here all through it. We came in Feb and we got a little bit of snow here and there, nothing much, not enough for us desert rats to buy a shovel even. I have to say though, that I am enjoying Spokane very much.
