After three or four totally dry months, SF is getting a first sprinkling from Jehovah's garden hose.

i like watching assholes in suvs lose control at low speeds on the first rainy day in 3 or 4 totally dry months in sf (as a pedestrian).

It is raining heavily.

the pinefox, Monday, 28 April 2008 10:58 (sixteen years ago) link

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

Noodle Vague, Monday, 28 April 2008 11:05 (sixteen years ago) link

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

the pinefox, Monday, 28 April 2008 11:43 (sixteen years ago) link

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

Ste, Monday, 28 April 2008 12:14 (sixteen years ago) link

i just love the rain

Surmounter, Monday, 28 April 2008 13:02 (sixteen years ago) link

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

emil.y, Monday, 28 April 2008 13:04 (sixteen years ago) link

Eek, thunder.

emil.y, Monday, 28 April 2008 13:10 (sixteen years ago) link

yess

Surmounter, Monday, 28 April 2008 13:13 (sixteen years ago) link

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

King Boy Pato, Monday, 28 April 2008 13:22 (sixteen years ago) link

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

RabiesAngentleman, Monday, 28 April 2008 13:24 (sixteen years ago) link

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

Ste, Monday, 28 April 2008 13:30 (sixteen years ago) link

so jealous xp

Surmounter, Monday, 28 April 2008 14:12 (sixteen years ago) link

banriquit, Monday, 28 April 2008 14:14 (sixteen years ago) link

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!

emil.y, Monday, 28 April 2008 14:38 (sixteen years ago) link

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

Surmounter, Monday, 28 April 2008 14:39 (sixteen years ago) link

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...

King Boy Pato, Monday, 28 April 2008 15:15 (sixteen years ago) link

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

King Boy Pato, Monday, 28 April 2008 15:21 (sixteen years ago) link

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.

Abbott, Monday, 28 April 2008 18:13 (sixteen years ago) link

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

rrrobyn, Monday, 28 April 2008 18:29 (sixteen years ago) link

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

rrrobyn, Monday, 28 April 2008 18:32 (sixteen years ago) link

yep. my favourite weather actually.

titchyschneiderMk2, Monday, 28 April 2008 18:52 (sixteen years ago) link

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

kate78, Monday, 28 April 2008 19:00 (sixteen years ago) link

I can't stand the rain.

Bodrick III, Monday, 28 April 2008 19:02 (sixteen years ago) link

rain in vancouver is lovely.

titchyschneiderMk2, Monday, 28 April 2008 19:02 (sixteen years ago) link

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.

Jaq, Monday, 28 April 2008 19:02 (sixteen years ago) link

i like it when its rainy but still warm.

titchyschneiderMk2, Monday, 28 April 2008 19:04 (sixteen years ago) link

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

the pinefox, Monday, 28 April 2008 19:07 (sixteen years ago) link

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.

kenan, Monday, 28 April 2008 19:11 (sixteen years ago) link

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

titchyschneiderMk2, Monday, 28 April 2008 19:15 (sixteen years ago) link

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?

jim, Monday, 28 April 2008 20:05 (sixteen years ago) link

two years pass...

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.

crüt it out (dyao), Tuesday, 22 June 2010 01:47 (thirteen years ago) link

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

iatee, Tuesday, 22 June 2010 01:49 (thirteen years ago) link

Don Homer (kingfish), Tuesday, 22 June 2010 05:53 (thirteen years ago) link

go O and O (Ste), Tuesday, 22 June 2010 08:42 (thirteen years ago) link

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

village idiot (dog latin), Tuesday, 22 June 2010 08:52 (thirteen years ago) link

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

max arrrrrgh, Tuesday, 22 June 2010 16:52 (thirteen years ago) link

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

righteousmaelstrom, Tuesday, 22 June 2010 17:27 (thirteen years ago) link

four months pass...

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

Ned Raggett, Saturday, 30 October 2010 12:47 (thirteen years ago) link

Rain is the perfect topic for small talk
