Currently attempting to investigate severe weather in the continental US, in terms of times of year it tends to happen, and where, so I have a general idea of when I do not want to be in specific parts of the US during my year of wandering. I pretty much already know the Northeast's weather (I'm intending to try to avoid wanderings involving snow, for example). Everywhere else, not so much.

Wikipedia makes me happy, as it appears to be the most useful source of this kind of information thus far.

You might like these (http://www.flickr.com/photos/42614915@N00/sets/676241/) pics, from what happens when you mix nebulae and a kaleidoscope. :)

*intense glee* Eeeeheeheeheehee!

Yes, you are correct about my liking of these pics. Indeed, I now feel the need to point ladytabitha at them.

Yay!

Nicest weather on the No. Cal. coast, btw, is in September and October. No guarantee on quakes.

No. Cal. coast: noted, although that's where I'm ending up at the end of the year of wandering, so there's a little less leeway there. Of course, I'm intending to _stay_ in SF for a while, so I ought to be able to be at least a little exploratory while there. :)

Quakes: known. But, they aren't weather, although they are natural phenomena.

Seattle is subject to no bad weather. We don't even get snow most years! Obviously, you should come visit me. :)

*laughing* I am definitely going to visit Seattle as part of my year of wandering in ~2.5 years, and may even make it back again before then (I've been once before, to visit wolfieboy).

However, I disagree about the lack of bad weather, since I count clouds as bad weather, if they go on for too long, because they cause bad biochemical reactions in my brain. (this is why I could never live in either Seattle or Portland)

Well, in the midwest, when there isn't snow, there's often mud or thunderstorms. :/

[wispfox.livejournal.com]

Ah, the fun!

How is mud a dangerous weather? Mudslides, sure, but just mud?

Hmm, well, it's more of a walking hazard really. Or on the absolute worst backroads. But I guess it wouldn't affect you much on the freeway...

Note that there are also clouds, but they don't last as long as Seattle's are supposed to. :)
