OK, It Can Stop Raining Now

Another overcast day with rain in the forecast. It's more like July than February! We needed the rain but enough is enough! I'm not used to all day rains! Where do you fall in the rain arena? Too much? Too little or just right?

At time for us it can be too much especially with the snow. It can lead to flooding. They are calling for heavy rain here tomorrow. Hope it stops raining there soon.

Thanks, it looks like it might. Hope you don't get any flooding. Are you on a hill or is your house at risk?

@Happy2BeMe Oh, at least there are detours and not just completely blocked. Been there!

@Jeanniemaries no luckily we are on top a hill but it is when you go down to go to the grocery store, etc. all the roads get flooded and there are so many detours.

We definitely get far more than our share over here. There used to beat huge dry trench between Britain and the USA, but the rain overflowing from England has filled it and we now have the Atlantic Ocean.

@Jeanniemaries Yes and now your sunshine is evaporating it and causing rain.

I hate when it rains as I can't go out and do anything fun outside but I try not to grumble as I know we need rain for lots of reasons.

@Jeanniemaries Nope but when I was young my sister and I loved to play out in the rain. I do not like the feeling of rain on skin at all it makes me feel all sticky.

I used to think that too, But once when I was complaining, my brother in law said he loved to be out in the rain. I got to thinking about that and decided I was missing out. I don't always go out, but sometimes it's just fun. Have you ever taken a walk in the rain just for fun?

We had rain overnight last night, it really came down, it woke me up. And I'm like you.....it IS February not July, what's up with this weather, not that I'm complaining!

@Jeanniemaries Yesterday I was out at our pond watching the fish and can you believe that the frogs have come out of hibernation already There were about 6 of them hopping here and there. We had rain the night before and that must have brought them out. Its so mild, I don't know what will happen if we get a cold snap, some of the fruit trees will be damaged as the buds are on the trees already, not open, but there. We took our snow fence down last weekend, we usually do that in late March. The grass under it was brown from lack of sunshine on it compared to around it-can you believe that?

Up there you should be seeing snow! Rain would mean warmer weather, but really I prefer snow over a cold rain. (here at least the rain is warm!)

We live in what's known here as a 'guaranteed' rain area so we are almost assured of getting enough rain for our needs. No droughts for us thank goodness.

After years of drought in California, all the rain this winter has been annoying but greatly needed.

it's a bit annoying when you need sunshine! When does it rain if it isn't raining now?
