Seattle, Washington, has a reputation for the kind of weather that would depress a duck. The photo above was taken on December 7, 2015, and though it depicts a bar in Pioneer Square, it could’ve just as well been describing Seattleites’ feelings about the weather that day. That’s because thanks to the recent onslaught of flooding rains, Monday, December 7, 2015, will go down as the darkest day in Seattle in almost nine years.
According to meteorologist Scott Sistek at KOMO News, it was the darkest day recordedat the University of Washington in Seattle since December 14, 2006, and the second-darkest day recorded in the city in the 21st century.
