This is a good thing

I love lounging on the couch with the internet and a warm beverage, while cold rain comes down in windy blusters outside.

Bliss.

I know, right? It was 73 yesterday and 37 right now. And so nice to be home and inside and warm while the rain taps against the windows.

Howdy! I'm sorry if this sounds just terribly rude, but...do I know you? We certainly seem to have Certain Interests in common.

Well, you're in good old company, then! =D Pleased to meet you! Again! Sorry I didn't remember the first time.

I so appreciate these days myself.

I hope you ESPECIALLY appreciated today! XOXO

You know it!

The same moment you posted this, I was at the dojo in a class meditating with a bunch of people. It was so calming to listen to the rain outside.

I hope you had a good day at the dojo!

Move to Portland. Or Seattle. Or Vancouver. Rain a-plenty. For months on end. :^)

It's not windy right now but supposedly it will be later.

Yeah, I think I'll skip that sort of weather. I like having cold rain occasionally when I don't have to go outside in it. =D

Yeah, every great now and then some fashion writer will complain that us folks in the PNW (Pacific northwest) wear too much technical/outdoorsy clothing. And I laugh and laugh because um....that's 'cause it rains here. For months. I tend to wear my wool coat most days but I do have one of those ugly rain jackets specifically for cycling, and if it's really coming down or windy or my ride is going to be longer, I'll wear it. (And hate it, but you gotta do what you gotta do...)

It generally isn't a hard rain--more like a constant pissing drizzle for days and days, interspersed with cloudy days where everything still feels damp. But we get our share of drenching downpours (especially in the spring) and sometimes we get freezing cold sunny days in the winter with a cuttingly harsh wind from the east.

*shudder*

Although I don't lie out in it, I love me my sun and dry. I'd like to retire to the Southwest.

It got sunny and very cold before the sun set. It was wonderful while it lasted, though, and it stopped raining before I went out in the afternoon. Perfect!

The weather said it snowed there yesterday-was it all atmospheric, or what?

We had a wonderful rainstorm in the middle of the night, with lots of lightning and wind (oddly, the wind blew like mad all day, went dead calm for about a half hour, then started up from the other direction when the front line finally hit us at about 11:00 or so).

[identity profile] clevermanka.livejournal.com 2012-11-12 05:39 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't think we got snow. It certainly could have, though. Brrrrr.

Glad you were warm and toasty! It was dry and sunny here, but didn't get warm all day.
