never figured that so looked up and you're spot on. That includes snow


Seattle Average Annual Precipitation: 39.34 inches (measured at Sea-Tac Airport).

New York City Average Annual Precipitation: 49.5 inches (measured at Central Park)

However Seattle averages roughly 250 cloudy days per year, compared to just 183 cloudy days in New York City.

So that's where the myth comes from

Heck, Ohio gets 40 on average

We get 60.  Lucky me.  

I was always lead to believe that it's not so much that it rains hard in Seattle, it's that it drizzles all the damn time and you never get a break from some amount of rain.  But I don't know.
