Bill Builds Beautiful Buildings and Seattle Snows?

So Microsoft really knows how to treat its employees. We get fantastic benefits, great perks around the Redmond area, amazing job opportunities and it doesn't stop there. The Microsoft Campus itself is really a sight to see. There are waterfalls, streams, trees, and flowers everywhere you look. I snapped a couple quick shots of my Campus when I was at lunch today in between the weather's inner struggle for seasonal identity.

Now, I knew I was coming to a rainy climate and thats fine cause even though I love to snowboard and sled and build snow forts and all that stuff, rainy weather beats the pants off dealing with ice storms, sub-freezing temperatures and snow covered ground for 4+ months of the year in Detroit and Utah. But seriously, I thought April meant it was spring, yet the sky keeps changing from blue to gray on an hourly basis and from rain to snow almost as often.

The thing that cracks me up is because there are so many hills around here everyone freak outs driving in the snow and ends up abandoning their cars in the middle of the freeway/hill/intersection out of fear that they won't be able to navigate the wild white yonder.
