Yes! I agree, it's raining here in Santa Ana and I love it!.

I don't know why people get so depressed by rainy days.

Too wet and cold, not so depressing as it just gets tiresome week after week .......after week of rain during this time of year.

Well, you are in Washington. Here in SoCal, we're lucky if we achieve 14"

I hear from several people that live in dryer climates that they enjoy a little rain here and there as they rarely get any. Kind of like how here in Washington State I love the summer because it does not tend to get too hot while some states have to deal with 100F plus or weeks at a time. If I had to deal with that I would not like summer either, what good does that level of heat do when you cannot even enjoy your summer. They would enjoy spring and fall a lot more. I do understand why people that live in other locations can enjoy it when it come about. Stating how it can get someone down in some manner if it happens too much.

Smoked salmon sounds really good right now. :]

I used to think snowy winters were really cool until I lived in Massachussetts for two years. I still like first snow though.

Snow can be really beautiful, can be troublesome when it traps you for a week which is rare for my area. Just had first snow of the season and it falls into the cool not troublesome category.

The worst is that foot deep black oil water you get impounded by the snowbanks in March and April.

That sounds like one big troublesome mess.

A little bit of drinking during lunch doesn't hurt once in a while. I've never heard of Riesling before. Did you have red wine? I prefer red wine really with fish.

Some coffee with Irish cream + Rainy day = Great day!

Ahh, nothing like rainy days. Nothing like lounging, and listening to some sorta slow lounge/chillout, with a glass of wine or something...

Well if we're talking about weather, I think Reno topped everybody's this Friday.
It was windy and snowy with a chance of wildfires....

Yeah, although it's just that time of year in Reno, lol.

I'll never forget the night that the wind was so strong it tore a panel off of my Jeep and flung it about 100 yards into the sagebrush. Dad and I found our trash barrels in the neighbor's lot and the powerline started arcing behind us.

Then around midnight I watched the front actually come over Mt. Rose and you could see lightening illuminating bands of snow behind that first ridge to the North.

Reno weather is epic.

yumyumyumyumyumyum

It's a good sunday then.

Best way to spend a day, that sounds awesome right now

I love rainy days, but I am living in a Texas drought. O cruel fate!
