Crack Shack or Mansion? (Vancouver Edition)

[Zoupa]

The worst part of living in Vancouver is indeed the rain - when it does rain. On the other 289 days it is paradise on earth.

The worst parts of living in most other cities are things which are not so infrequent.

I'd guess that to be the best part.

Well that, and the real estate market. 

Not from my perspective

I dunno.  Even you were bitching about trying to find a place without a rental unit.

So 289 + 166 = 365? 

[Zoupa]

Vancouverites in denial.

Maybe its a metric year, the conversion rates really throw me for a loop.

So that, the FREAKING INCESSANT RAIN,

Vancouver averages 166 days per year with measurable precipitation, and 289 days with measurable sunshine

Measurable sunshine.

Measured in J/cm²

Apparently Canadians are all about it. I typed in measurable sunshine to google and most of the top hits were about Canadian cities. How sad.

[Ideologue]

If you can see, isn't the sunshine always measurable by, you know, your eyes?

What about recreational blindness?

Sounds like a disreputable hobby to me.

Nope.  By pyranometer.

[Ideologue]

I just think it's funny that for 176 days out of the year, they're saying that the sun is literally undetectable (even with instruments!).

I can't find a proper definition for "measurable sunshine" though; I suppose it means days where the sun manages, however briefly, to not be obscured by clouds?  Hail Ra, I guess.

Nope.  By pyranometer.

Yeah, that's how you'd get irradiance per area numbers; but unless the Sun Eater comes, I'm pretty sure the only time a sensitive enough pyranometer (or a functional, non-Lettowed human eye) can detect and measure sunlight practically always, even on most nights.  What does "measurable" mean?  For Canadian purposes, it clearly means less light than will produce an image.
