I won't experience a storm again without thinking about whether it's a Houston rain or a Seattle rain (or a Denver rain which is usually dark clouds and a little wind, followed by five drops and then it's over!)Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13294455230627182656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-887210982915389572.post-74075370782278537642014-03-11T05:40:16.398-04:002014-03-11T05:40:16.398-04:00"And while we meandered through moderate patt..."And while we meandered through moderate patter to write this post, our Seattle rain has returned.

I love that you have wiper designations of cities. Denver has so little rain that we celebrate when we have a gray day that's at least sprinkly. It's just too, too dry.

I shall now call this kind of rain Houston.

In fact, that's how I would classify our weather the whole way around -- it's like a grab bag of every region's offerings. Hot, cold, rainy, sunny, arctic, temperate. They say here, if you don't like the weather, wait five minutes -- it'll be different :).bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05205255058860911148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-887210982915389572.post-62489678600204960262014-03-05T11:06:52.275-05:002014-03-05T11:06:52.275-05:00You are right Ramona, in the east we take rain for...You are right Ramona, in the east we take rain for granted.

It's amazing how we see the world and personalize things in our own ways and how just the rate of rain can be defined so differently from person to person.Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18011661904689079860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-887210982915389572.post-41504660111191493452014-03-05T10:01:12.558-05:002014-03-05T10:01:12.558-05:00I love how you have re named wiper speeds.

I know we have other kinds of rain on occasion, but it has been so long I've forgotten. Parched in LA!Julieannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08876141420632207823noreply@blogger.com
