All it took was a year and a half in Bellevue and I've never needed protection from the rain ever since.
Now that I'm back in California I get a lot of weird looks in the office when I go out into the rain on purpose. It's a lot easier to appreciate the rain here when it's not raining nonstop for nine months.
- milsorgen 3y agoI get the same puzzled bemusement here in Idaho. Originally from the Oregon Coast I now relish a good rain and love a long walk through it.
- gottorf 3y agoCome spend some time in the Gulf Coast! Rain here actually physically hurts, sometimes. Big droplets (though probably not as big as the ones in the Alaskan Panhandle[0]), falling at a very rapid pace, looks and feels like a curtain of water. It's not unusual to have an inch an hour.
