Life in the Great Northwest

So, I've noticed lately on the news that the Weatherman/woman shows forcasts with varying shades of gray. You know when they line all the days up so you can see a week of weather on the tv; sometimes there is sun (hidden by clouds), sometimes a little rain, sometimes a lot of rain (our forecasters are really good at showing how much rain you'll get too), but the backgrounds to the days are always varying shades of gray.
That's probably why my dining room looks like this...
