For those who don't try to memorize the whole dictionary :lol: dig is a slang word means something you're connected to like of course, tmnt!
You'd think more boys would like rain, knowing girls don't like their hair messy but I don't really care
I personally love the rain, it's the most peaceful sound...
While everyone else is whining I'd be the one actually out there! It's just water no different than taking a shower.
No I'm not one of those people who get out in the road and dance in it but something about it just lights me up inside.
Always dreamed of living in Seattle too. It could be pouring down for weeks, bring it on! Sunshine's overrated.

Rainy weekend days make me feel nostalgic for my old cottage and the games I'd play there when it rained, or the weird indoor stuff we'd get up to as kids. A very specific kind of rainy day also makes me insanely nostalgic for GC Animal Crossing rain. I used to love the sound of the rain on the roof while I was sleeping and I read through so many of my favourite books at that place when it was raining.

Aside from that I am brutally sensitive to pressure change and nearly every time it rains I tend to get really bad migraines, which makes me hate rain quite a bit.

Absolutely love the rain. Love the sound, love the smell. Love walking in it.

Depends. Like it in summer most. Too frequent gets tiring, pouring rain when it's really cold but a little too "warm" for snow sucks a lot. Here and there in the warmer months I like it. And sometimes reminds me of the rainy days spent playing in the basement as a kid.

Most of all I love thunderstorms. I'm one that will sometimes sit on the front step and watch the lightning.

Though a few years ago after thinking I'd go sit out there and watch a storm leave, since it sounded to be getting farther away and was clearing up, some late lighting on the tail end went and hit a pole a few houses up and nearly had me throwing myself into the house. :lol: (Although in truth I was always wanting to see nearby lightning...) Knocked the power right out. (Luckily a neighbor who was also outside and saw it works for the power company and got someone out here pretty soon to fix it.)

Although rain + glasses sucks.

Truth.

Though for me, I tend to have my sunglasses on over my glasses which at least protects them!

I LOVE rain, especially thunderstorms, but only if I don't HAVE to be out in it. It sucks to have to walk to/from work in it, but if it rains while I'm AT work, I don't mind one bit, as it means business will be a little slower, and we don't have to rush around quite so much. I LOVE thunder and lightning, and will often stand just outside my door and watch and listen to them. I've even been known to go out barefoot and splash and dance around in the rain, just for fun, like I used to as a kid.

I am especially happy when it rains lately, since we've been in a drought for about five+ years now. Every bit of rain we can get is welcome, what with some of our area lakes as much as 22 feet low. That's BAD. Rain is always beautiful, but even more so when it's sorely needed!!

(And here's a fun fact- my maiden name is Irish, and roughly translates to "son of the storm"- which might explain why I love storms so much. Go figure....)

Oh my gawd xD
Power outages are cool we light up a bunch of candles and if my friends over we go under the bed and tell stories to scare the crap out of my sis hahaha
I noticed that when it rains it's so much prettier outside the grass almost looks blue!

You'd expect that in Florida! And how did the snow skip you guys but hit Texas? :roll:

Like most weather, I don't mind rain, as long as i'm at home listening to it hit the windows and patter on the roof. If I have to drive in the stuff....SCREW RAIN!

I like rain except when it causes damage and power outages, like tornadoes and hurricanes.

I like rain most when we need it, like when we have a drought. I hate droughts.

Yeah, the driving, I really hate when it's raining hard enough to be kind of scary. And when the reflection on the wet pavement makes the lines on the road hard to see.

A few years ago I was in the car during a shot of straight line winds, aka a downburst, during a storm. That's kind of scary in a car. :o Fortunately I was sitting still at a light.

I love, love, love the rain! Being from AZ, we don't get very much, and when we do, like as not, it's a monsoon storm with lost of thunder and lightning... though I didn't care for it too much when I was out hiking on the mountain and the lightning was striking all around me... That was way too scary. Also had a lightning bolt strike a tree in my front yard while I was out... poor tree has a big scar, and dripped pitch from it for several years.

Rain in the Netherlands though... ugh. It can last all day, and we're more likely to get rain, freezing rain, or sleet, than snow. (Snow's a rare occurrence for a sea climate.) Plus I have to walk the dog 3x a day, and that means being out in it, and I'm miserable if I'm cold and wet.

Well, if you don't want it- send some over my way! We could REALLY use more, since we're so far below the normal amount for the fifth year running.

I don't like rain at all; I can't relax when it's raining. There was one hell of a hailstorm here a few years ago - hail as big as golf balls, and it totalled my car, flooded the streets and made a huge mess of the place I was renting. I think I'm still a bit shell shocked for that one, and I tense up whenever it rains harder than a drizzle.

Definitely dig it.

The only time I'm not crazy about it is when I have to carry charcoal drawings through it to get to class, and have to worry about my work getting ruined. Aside from that, I'm always cool with it. Especially during the summer when I can just chill in my room and hear it against my window; that's the most relaxing thing ever.

Hate it. It's awful in the big city when you gotta go to work or class. Also, the public transportation(metro, buses, etc.) get clogged.

I don't know how anyone can love rain and walking outside while it's raining. Especially if it's the heavy kind that leaves you soaked regardless of you carrying an umbrella and wearing a rain jacket or not. Getting to work or class soaked is not pleasant at all.

Hate it. It really screws with my life. People don't go to the gym as much when the weather sucks, because they tend to stay home in general, so I lose money when it rains. But also, people around here drive like assholes in good weather, whenever it rains the accidents skyrocket, and we've had a ton of near-misses. Also, we live near the woods, so in really bad storms trees going down and knocking out TV, phones, internet and power in general is common. Or even if it's not raining that bad, someone will skid and take out a pole and we lose power for a day. Past that, some people get a serious drop in their Serotonin levels when the weather gets bad, and I am one of those people. I get seriously tired and achy when it even threatens to rain. My body just doesn't want to work.

Plus it messes up my hair. So yeah, I hate the rain.

If it would go ahead and hit 70 degrees like suggested it can rain all it damn well likes. So far I am disappointed.

If inside, let it rain for all I care. If I have to leave the house then no, unless it's a light warm shower.

If it's early I don't care if it's so bad the power goes out. If it's late at night the power better not go out.

In really heavy rain-storms I enjoy looking out my window and watching people caught in the rain either running on the sidewalk or with an umbrella over their head. For some reason seeing people out there in a storm rushing to get home or indoors while I'm inside is quite satisfying.

My brain reads "Rain-dig" as a product name... in the vein of Rain-X or something like that.
