Yes, both eastern Oregon and southeastern Washington are bone dry (I mean we make snowmen out of tumbleweeds)

u/Toughbiscuit Jan 27 '23

Most of eastern washington is desert. Im from okanogan county and most of that region is considered desert highlands. I think the spokane region is the only portion of eastern washington not considered a desert

u/maryblooms Jan 27 '23

True, i lived in the Tri Cities area (Benton/Franklin counties) and I knew Spokane wasn’t desert but couldn’t remember how much farther up wasn’t. I live in Tucson now and we actually get more rain here! We have torrential monsoons in the summer and some winter rain too. It’s crazy

u/k-rob91 Jan 27 '23

And the Olympic Mountains create the only rain forest in our country. Big rain is kinda our thing. Nobody says,”it’s so arid and dry” when they travel to the PNW, because they don’t travel east of the cascades much. BUT by size, yes, we have a large portion of the western high deserts within the borders of Washington, and Oregon. With those climates factored in; we are one of the driest states. And this stupid graphic/meme kinda holds true according to the data I linked…

If you are serious: Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, and Louisiana. It’s taught in schools as a way to remember those states. They look like a chef, the hat being Minnesota and feet is Louisiana.

Edit: For those saying you haven’t heard of this it’s ok. It was on Jeopardy recently as a final Jeopardy question and all three answered wrong. So maybe it’s only taught in some schools or taught more before or after the time you were in school.

Unrelated but do you guys really call your state "The Boot"?

I was playing COD with some guys and we were saying what states we were from and they were all like "The Boot" and I was so confused so I asked "Italy? That's not a state guys".

And they all laughed at me, looking at the shape it does resemble a Boot, but Italy has always been taught as the Boot shaped country.

Another question, are you guys jealous of Italys renowned Boot shaped status?

18

u/Apptubrutae Jan 27 '23

I’m also from Louisiana and there are rare boot references but it’s not at all common to say you’re from “the boot”.

Especially because the state really doesn’t look much like a boot anymore in reality, more like a desiccated husk along the southeast.

There’s a local beer that references the name though:

https://abita.com/brews/the-boot#

Speaking from New Orleans, I have never heard anyone say “the boot” except for cases of people reaching for a more unique nickname.

That said, New Orleanians tend to identify much more with the city than the state so that could be it.

It's a tree that produces poisonous nuts that look like eyes, later on a candy version was developed of chocolate balls with peanut butter centers.
Also the leaves of the tree vaguely look like weed leaves so you'll occasionally see cases of people wearing clothes with buckeye leaves on them and people think they're wearing weed leaves.

Central Park is "manicured nature". They have a staff of over 300 people maintaining it.

Lol you think new England is the cold part of the US? HAHAHAHA not even close. Try visiting north dakota. Or Montana. OR minessota . Alaska would be the worst for obvious reasons. New England is pretty mild. They just get a lot of snow.

u/acimstudier Jan 27 '23

As someone who lives in Alaska currently and has lived in North Dakota, North Dakota is worse than a good portion of Alaska. That dang wind.

u/IndianaGeoff Jan 27 '23

So we could get Europe to adopt USB-C.

According to OP’s profile he’s 14, guess that explains why this map is garbage

Thanks for including the Carolinas lol

u/OGraffe The Trash Man Jan 27 '23

And they extend all the way to Ohio.

Wait that might explain why there’s so many in the Carolinas. OP, you might be onto something

I believe you mean, "As an East-coast Yankee, this is how I see America", based on what is labeled "Real America"

As someone from the Midwest I take offense at New England being Cold America. OP, go to Fargo in February.

Also, at least call us “surprising flat despite the girth”

Calling Washington and Oregon dry is the funniest thing I've ever heard.

u/No_Astronaut9011 Jan 27 '23

I’m a NYer and we’re so un-American here it some how loops back around to being American again. But in all reality we shouldn’t be labeled “real America”. Everything here is a mish mash of cultures which I get is American. But it’s not. It’s more like living in every other country other than America all at once.

Yeah, east coasters always brag about how they don't know anything about the rest of the USA. It's a really weird flex tbqh.

As someone who has lived in all four corners of the nation... you really need to travel a bit my friend.

Also, what is this nonsense about "Real America". That's extremely insulting to everywhere outside those silly lines you drew.

You are missing out. Oregon and Washington are beautiful and very much wetlands like the east coast. Montana varies from bitter cold to winter wonderland, from deep snow to dry tundra. My favorite places so far : Glacier national park in Montana, the icy isles off the nw coast of washington, the chocolate factory near it from Washington to Oregon, many of the splendid places between Idaho and Arizona near the nevada border, the Grand Canyon of Az. Just to name a few. I'm hoping to venture east and see what Tennessee and Geogia offer soon, if not Virginia/Colorado.

There is so much to see and lots of space to build a happy life. I want to see West Virginia soon too.
