So, what is a convergence zone?

Several of my friends have asked me this after I forced them to read the few entries on my blog and tell me whether or not they were totally lame or slightly entertaining.

Well let me tell you!!

A convergence zone is a phenomenon that happens when two distinct flows of air and such meet at a certain point and make crazy weather happen.

I happen to live in the Puget Sound Convergence Zone, which is an area from the coasts of about to Edmonds to Everett that flows east towards Monroe. This happens from the upper air flows coming in off the Pacific Ocean, splitting around the Olympic Mountains, and then converging again over Puget Sound. Which means that this small region I live in is often rainier, snowier, muggier, stormier, windier, lightningier... than the rest of western Washington. ISN'T THAT SUPER INTERESTING?

Here's a picture. Because I like to draw. Even if I kind of suck at it.
