Do you love the rain?

it's not raining anymore but it's cloudy.

Next time, check the weather reports. It always rains this time of year (Dec-Feb) - this is the only time it does.

And I still ADORE rain, even now, having experienced rainfall in the past 24 hours. Driving in the rain can be a pain in the ass, mostly because people around here have no fucking idea how to drive in any sort of precipitation at all, but that's the only drawback to rain I can think of. Gimme lots and lots and lots and LOTS of rain, I say! Let it POUR down!

Can someone bring me some groceries??????

i LOVE it when it lightningses and thunderses here.

It is raining heavily.

I do not love the rain. Maybe a couple of times a year.

It's stopped, and the sun is out again!

i feel like a good spanking today, or anytime this week.

i just love the rain

It's pissing down here now. Fortunately, I like the rain lots.

Eek, thunder.

yess

It's pissing down here for the first time since the war. I think. Hooray!

We just got snow the other day, wtf. It's almost May.

slow drizzle today, but with warm temperatures. i like it.

so jealous xp

lol yeah is it true that aus is in a drought and they'll all have to ship off to like somewhere else?

The rain went a little while ago. The thunder was exciting, though it is better when you're curled up on the sofa with someone else/a cat, instead of sat at a computer trying to concentrate on work.

I don't think I posted upthread, but I would have mentioned that my mum told me that when I was very little I used to dance around in thunderstorms wearing nothing but a pair of wellies. Erk!

ha! i used to dance around in the cold at night wearing my pajamas

lol yeah is it true that aus is in a drought and they'll all have to ship off to like somewhere else?

Yeah, probably. This is the first decent rain I've seen since probably August/September last year. Apart from a morning in December (where I got soaked ahead of the Xmas work party, THANK YOU) and an evening in February (where I got soaked at a Sonic Youth concert, THANK YOU), it's been bone dry.

The scary thing is that I'm used to it now...

Personally, I hope they start shipping parts of Australia off to Japan just like what happened in that classic Yahoo Serious film, Reckless Kelly.

The only reason I really enjoy rain is it means I don't have to worry about watering the oleanders outside for a few days.

i got soaked by the rain today on my bike but i still sort of love the rain

environment canada's website for mtl is all 'rainfall warning continued'
this rain really does not require a warning

yep. my favourite weather actually.

Love rain. Very excited to be moving from Denver (very sunny) to Vancouver (rainy! rainy!) in 4 weeks...

I can't stand the rain.

rain in vancouver is lovely.

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.
