Man what I wouldn't give.  We have barely had any rain for months.

Goddamn it. :ultra:

Rain, thunderstorms, and fucking more rain tonight. Then, tomorrow night, "light snow showers with little to no accumulation". I hate this fucking place.

If you moved to Wales, that's precisely the weather you'd get trust me, when I moved there it rained during the day at some point for the first 78 days. :bowler:

I don't mind rain, except when everyone else gets snow. :(

I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today

Yeah, I'd rather have way too much, than not enough; This year in the river valley started off really badly, an exceptionally dry previous autumn and winter left the place looking very hung out come March, but the consistent rainfall since then, left it looking the most vibrant I've ever seen it during spring and summer. 

I'm hoping this autumn and winters rains will set it up for a decent spring/summer next year and a good growing season.

They don't call it Snowdonia for nothing!

So I got out of Dodge after work.  Supposedly by midnight it is going to be -10f with 50 mph winds...the 6 inches of dry snow that fell will make seeing as bad a klansman with his hood on backwards.

I remember a character in a novel who got rained on everyday no matter where he went. Can't recall where.  :hmm:

I'm going to be in Rancho Mirage in the morning. Even the native NJers and NYers here at this research in SF are crying about the cold.

It was in one of the later Hitchhiker books, he was a truck driver and it happened because he was a rain god, but didn't know it.   :bowler:

Rob McKenna

Described by the scientific community in the novel So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish as a "Quasi Supernormal Incremental Precipitation Inducer," Rob McKenna is an ordinary lorry driver who can never get away from rain and he has a log-book showing that it has rained on him every day, anywhere that he has ever been, to prove it. Arthur suggests that he could show the diary to someone, which Rob does, making the media deem him a 'Rain God' (something which he actually is) for the clouds want "to be near him, to love him, to cherish him and to water him". This windfall gives him a lucrative career, taking money from resorts and similar places in exchange for not going there.

Blizzard warnings less than 30 minutes north of us, but we're expected to get less than an inch. WTF??

Today it is snowing but strangely the temperature is above freezing.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011
