Review of Eugene, Oregon


Eugene vs. Portland in terms of overcast skies?
Star Rating - 7/10/2012
Has anyone lived in both cities for several seasons to give a thorough comparison? Weather data alone doesn't seem to tell the story. I'd like to know the difference between Eugene and Portland Oregon in terms of the "gloom" factor, since Eugene gets more total rainfall than Portland, but also seems to have more "sunny" days (partly sunny, mostly likely). Is Eugene's rain more concentrated into fewer total days? How about overcast days with drizzle that lack heavy rain? Thanks for any details.

I lived in Eugene for five years followed by five years in Portland. I didn't notice much difference in weather. The winters are primarily overcast and the summers are glorious. There may be a difference between the two places, but you probably wouldn't notice unless you made precise measurements.
