Blade Runner is the best movie of all time.
Blade Runner is always raining.
Rain is thus the best weather of all time.

When I lived in Vegas, rain might as well been the apocalypse.  These desert dwellers cannot deal with weather variations very well. 

And a sprinkling of snow, oh god.  Hell on earth.

I love rain when I'm sleeping but that's about it.  Went out earlier and I was pretty sure I was going to die.  SoCal residents will never learn how to drive in the rain.  You either have someone crawling along at a snail's pace or some idiot gunning it for no reason.

love me some rain. it only sucks when you're wearing bad clothing for it.
snow however? **** snow. where I'm from, we get 7 months of snow every year. and down to -50c if we're unlucky. usually doesn't get below -40c though. (same as -40F btw)
and most of summer it rains. but as I said, I like rain.

i went to costco yesterday wearing chinelas to get some tires changed. it started raining. i almost slipped and died a trillion times trying to walk from my parking spot to costco. once i surrendered my car keys, i realized i had forgotten my phone. the wait was two hours. i ended up buying two boxes of alcohol-filled chocolates and staring at them for a long time. It took a lot of self-control to not buy the Batman encyclopedia. I rewarded myself by getting a costco dog and drink.

this was the worst day ever. once the rain subsided, there was a quadruple rainbow in the sky. a lot of rude people froze in place and took ****ty phone pictures of the phenomenon. they were rude because they were in the parking lot not being mindful of cars and their fat asses.

i wonder where the photos will end up

You really don't though. Two months in the PacNW and you'll be begging for some sunshine. Begging, but the Gods won't listen.

Instead they shall shower their smite upon your art project, soggy your document hardcopies, and make you feel like you pissed yourself for the next 6hrs of your life .

No sir, the Gods are quite cruel. Only giving brief glimpses of sunlight perhaps 2 weeks out of the year. Just enough for you to build a sliver of hope before having it dashed apart by yet another deluge.

A POX ON THEE RAIN! A CURSE UPON YOU AND YOURS, FOUL DEMON OF THE CLOUDS!

It actually doesn't get that cold, rarely below freezing. Additionally the rain is generally light, usually around a moderate drizzle.

It's just that the rain is relentless. It is ceaseless, day and night. Every single day for 10 months a year. Overcast grey and depressing 300 days a year. Always bearing down, making everything damp and gross  :mad:
