It’s raining now in our home town
It’s dreary and people feel down
For twenty-six days
We’ve seen no sun rays
A snorkel’s required, lest we drown

In the winter, in Seattle, it often rains. Not every single day, though! This year is different: As of today, we’ve had 26 days of rain in a row and are closing in on the all-time record, 33 days. Even we think that’s a little excessive.
