Oregon's rainy season usually starts around Sept, labor day weekend and runs through May, memorial day weekend at the least. I am 20 miles northwest of Portland and while Portland is about 120 foot in elevation, I am up at 1200 ft. I have seen snow on the 4th of July and usually this end of the state gets a non stop 30 day break from the rain once a year. Maybe.
People in California lay on the beach to get tanned. In Oregon, they rust.
It rains enough that the rain here is pasteurized. It flows from pasture to pasture. . . .
Oregon has a UFO. It comes out once a year. It's called "The Sun".
Oregon actually has a town named "Drain".
We also have a town called "Boring".
Native Oregonians are reputed to have been born with web feet and a corresponding water mark going up the legs to show the length of time in the state.
It has been determined that New York actually gets more rain fall in a given year. We do however claim about 300 cloudy days per year.
After awhile in this area, you no longer have a need to look up because it is just one large gray cloud that stretches from horizon to horizon. The rainfall type is the annoying type. Beach mist mostly and while you might not feel the rain upon you, everything around you is soaking wet.
More people are moving here but that is alright. All that cloudy soggy weather has the highest depression rate and very quietly, a greater self inflicted ends to the depression.
Oregon might not be the end of the earth but it is close.
Oregon beaches, while some of the most beautiful in the world are mostly enjoyed in the car with the heater going.
My wife once said to me, "Let's go to the beach!" I, in turn, opened the fridge and stuck my head in. She then asked me what I was doing and I told her that I was getting warmed up to go to the beach.

There was a state governor Tom McCall who was said, “Come visit, don’t stay”. “I urge them to come and come many, many times to enjoy the beauty of Oregon. But I also ask them, for heaven’s sake, don’t move here to live.”
That was 1971 and the feelings are still the same.
