Rain, Rain, Go Away

Whoever said that it rains all the time in Seattle clearly has never been to London. Our friends and family always ask what the weather is like, so here it goes: Since we've stepped off the plane, the weather for the majority of the time has been rainy and windy. The temperature has been mild, but the wind can be a bitter ice slap in the face - sounds fun, doesn't it?

Aaron and I are both shocked by how quickly the weather changes. One minute it will look like the sun is starting to peak through and the next a rain storm will roll in. I've heard way more thunder here than I ever did in Seattle or San Diego, and while the rain in Seattle is often a steady misting, the rain here pours.

It also hasn't snowed since we've been here which some people might say is a good thing, but I really love the snow! It's funny to me that even with all this rain, we didn't experience snow in London, Iceland, Brussels... no, our snow experience was in New York!

Basically, the only thing that is predictable about London weather is it's unpredictability. Umbrella, jacket, sunglasses, mittens - my motto here has become just grab everything before you leave the house : )
