it gets somewhat brown here in the winter - like in OKC. The tallgrass turns yellow/brown, and we have quite a bit and even a few deciduous trees - like alder, birch, and such. But, it is true that there is a very much larger proportion of evergreen trees which make it pretty green yearround.

I just thought I'd mention that - and it is INTERESTING that Google picked now for Seattle and the Winter for OKC. ....
