I've always liked rain. It's different where I live now (Florida) than it was where I grew up (Ontario). Back home, when it rained, it rained over a wide area. Here, it can be pouring like it was the end times, with the gutters overflowing and rivers running down the hill, and three blocks down the road, the pavement can be dry, and the sun will be shining. However, in my 11 1/2 years here, I have never seen a rainbow. I find that odd, since it often rains on one area while the sun is out in the next.

We have driven down I-10 and seen a wall of rain on one side of the road, that doesn't reach the road, and it isn't falling anywhere else. And we have driven into a thunderstorm and out the other side. Strangest thing I've ever seen! It fascinates me.

It's been raining here all day today =(

Which would be cool, except it's washing away what was left of the snow =/

It's raining outside in my area, as well. Last year around this time, we were getting snow.

It is raining here in Minnesota...in January. I dont mind rain if it comes at the right season...But as it is now being winter...its just going to turn to ice that is slick a snot. All the snow is melting into what will be a frozen solid sheet of ice in covering the expanse of my yard, driveway, and side walk. Ohhhhh El Nino why must you torment me so. :(
