It's Raining, It's (Kinda) Pouring...

[Diva]

The rain started at 3A.M. and hasn't stopped. For most people I know that's no big deal. MOST people I know live OUTSIDE of California. Today should be filled with accidents and people narrowly missing others while attempting to drive at the same speeds they would while the weather is sunny. I just hope the latter of the two are the ones I'm driving with. It's days like these that make me look to the want ads to find something closer to home.

You haven't experienced rain until you've lived in the West Country. You get the atlantic ocean's wind charged with rain water evaporated from the gulf stream falling down for two weeks in a row. There's so much rain and the ground is so saturated that after a day or two there's a stream outside your house.

No one can tell me that London has bad weather. It's mild. What's one or two hours of rain compared to two or three weeks of rain?

The danger in places like California is all the material that builds up on the road surface whilst the rain fails to come. It's usually far slicker after a few weeks without rain. Lubricated roads lead to longer stopping distances, lead to more crashes.

Driving with rain can be fun when you see the vortices of moisture billowing away from the trucks. So which car is most efficient at moving through air. Today's the day to investigate.

I've worked for 3-4 hours in the rain and been drowned like a rat a few years ago. When you're hiking your jeans will feel like cardboard.

I'll take rain over an overcast day anytime, simply because "at least the weather is doing something"

I live in south Texas. We rarely see rain.

[warza bidul]

So you have a vague sense of what it is...

[Bones]

I know what rain is. We don't see it often , but when we do we see lots of it.
