Do you love the rain?

Supposed to have been a 90% chance of rain all week, and it was dripping this morning but now is disorientingly sunny. I do like the rain.

i like it when its rainy but still warm.

Amazing brief London rainstorm just now. It probably smells lovely outside.

There are lots of kinds of rain that I do not like, most of them involving me being caught outside and in danger of catching cold. Wet feet are the worst. But some rain is great:

1) a big Midwestern thunderstorm, putting on a big, loud, Wagnerian performance.

2) the mid-winter rain that washes away the dirty snow and makes room for fresh snow.

3) the hot summer afternoon rain that makes being outside tolerable again, however briefly.

4) the quiet spring rain that's perfect for opening the windows and putting "The Rain Song" by Zeppelin on the stereo.

i like a nice downpour. makes london look better and less disgusting and dirty.

I really love getting soaked on the way to work and then sitting for a whole morning with trousers that are absolutely wringing/heavy and chafing. It's a rare delight. I also love standing at a bus stop that doesn't have a shelter in the rain for half an hour in Glasgow in December and subsequently having a bout of asthma that keeps me up half the night. Also I love being splashed by cars that have driven through a large puddle that was caused by rain, staining my newly dry-cleaned trousers.

Fuck is wrong with you people?

dehydrated

jim carpet truth-bombing

all I ask for is a day full of rain, the whole day dark and grey.

these flash storms are nice but they're over in like, 5 minutes. and it's still pretty light outside.

I want it to be raining 100% of the time when I'm indoors and 0% of the time when I'm outside

fuckin' portland weather

droughts here in the nw of england, not had decent rainfall all year so far. want rain now.

everyone on this thread who says they love the rain is wrong.

i like to go for a walk and a smoke in light rain.

Haha. Came on this thread to talk about P-town but kingfish beat me to it.

Out all day yesterday in perfect weather; this morning, lots of rain while I rest warm and snug. A fine balance.

Rain is the perfect topic for small talk

I am OTM ITT. Rain is the worst.

fuck off rain

In this thread we tell the life sustaining compound that comprises 60% of our body mass to fuck off :p Just about to go out for a walk in the rain and it has allowed me to put off cutting the hedges and saves me the job of watering the grass seed I planted last week, yay rain!

i like it a leetle but it's been raining for 2 weeks straight in denver it is a bit dire now.

searingly bright and then darkening to november skies in a few minutes for another squall

oh fuck dropbox it was a good pic that!

had a nice walk home thru Wagnerian skies, a flurry of light hail as i left work followed by intermittent brightness and dark spray

on Saturday evening i spent the absolute best 20 minutes sat with Han by the big fountain in town as the sky darkened and the wind kept swinging the spray around us

cumulonimbus is the ultimate big bottom cloud

this day is beyond

love rain, love cloudy days. think i need to move to the cascades or northern europe.

Beautiful, rainy day here in Seattle.

raining so hard in hilo the lines on the roads have completely disappeared. keeps you on yr toes

but yes it is my favorite. we had something like a drought last summer -- hard blue skies for weeks -- and i started telling people i had seasonal affective disorder

ha yes, i sometimes feel i have "reverse" seasonal affective disorder. not a huge fan of the cold, however.

my position's always been that cold's preferable to heat cuz you can always put on another layer but the reverse isn't true -- but this is just bias because i have extensive experience with steaming jungles and none with, like, minnesota, where i'm sure there wouldn't be enough layers in the world for me

i can kind of get into intense dry heat, it makes me feel alive and present and more connected with the cosmos or something.

Cold+rainy no, likewise having to sit at work in wet clothing. Otherwise love it, especially in the warm summer while pleasantly buzzed.

a consequence of rain is greenery and clean air

i like

good grass means good milk

cold's preferable to heat cuz you can always put on another layer but the reverse isn't true

^^^

xp also rain during allergy season means fewer allergy symptoms.

true

luv rain

hail mt rain...ier

Rave on Jackson Browne (you love the thunder, you love the rain)

Rave on Eddie Rabbit

Ill take extreme heat bc you can run around almost naked and pour water all over yourself in necessary

always good social etiquette to run around scantily clad pouring water all over yourself while you wait to be seated at your favourite restaurant

I think I'd lose my job if I tried that at work.
