True. According to the USGS, New York gets 45.4" of precipitation yearly, while Seattle gets 37.2".<p>That said, I'd like to find out how to compare the number of days with rain in both places. Seattle gets drizzle. The year I moved here we had 86 days of continuous drizzle and no sun sightings. New York most likely gets its precipitation in the occasional downpour -- not to mention snow -- and probably has more overall sunny days during the winter. (Just a guess, though.)<p><a href="http://countrystudies.us/united-states/weather/new-york/new-york.htm" rel="nofollow">http://countrystudies.us/united-states/weather/new-york/new-...</a><p><a href="http://countrystudies.us/united-states/weather/washington/seattle.htm" rel="nofollow">http://countrystudies.us/united-states/weather/washington/se...</a>
