1. It's gonna rain here later today....

[KitchenWitch]

2. I always get nervous when it rains in January

think 1 inch of ice on the roads!

[WCGreen]

4. Yea, snow tires are no good on that ....

[Fleshdancer]

10. You're in MN, right?

Since when did 1 inch of ice on the roads ever stop y'all from driving like bats out of hell during the winter?

This is why I never registered my car when I lived in MN. People don't tailgate as much up there when your license plate says Texas. :D

[KitchenWitch]

11. LMAO

I will not drive on glaze ice. Too many fucking idjits out on the road driving like maniacs.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

3. So whadda-ya-wan'? A medal?

:popcorn:

[KitchenWitch]

5. No

A lifetime supply of popcorn and a flame retardant suit would suffice!

:popcorn:

6. I wish it would rain here.

Damned grey skies aren't doing a thing except blocking the sun. :(

[Robeson]

7. I just washed my car. So that means it's gonna rain here, too.....

...:banghead:

[Maine Mary]

8. Let rain on all of my friends!!!

You guys are the BEST ;-)

[KitchenWitch]

9. LOL

Can we post pone our rain until April, when it is not likely to freeze?

[Maine Mary]

12. I'm with you on that one!!!

But where I live it'd still probably freeze! May is when we see green here. But boy, do we appreciate it! :-)

[Oeditpus Rex]

15. Rain... in *April*??

Oh, that's right — SOME people have ROOFS on their ballparks. :grr:

[KitchenWitch]

16. I would gladly take an open air ballpark

and sit in the rain, over our current terrible dome.

[Robeson]

17. Agree 110%.....

...Can you imagine having teams actually dreading to come play us because of the elements, much less our team. The weather alone, accounted for alot of wins...

[KitchenWitch]

18. indeed!

I loved when the Vikings played at the old Met...good times!

[lakemonster11]

13. This was the 25th straight day of rain in Seattle.

No joke. No end in sight. :(

The record is 33 straight days, in 1953.

[Robeson]

14. Are you a Seahawks fan? If so, relish in the playoffs and forget about...

...the rain. You guys may be going to the Super Bowl. If you don't give a damn about the Seahawks, then relish the rain....

[lakemonster11]

22. I'm excited about the Seahawks.

I'm not a huge football fan, but I do like to watch bowl games (and, as a huge Mariners fan, I support all of the local teams). The Super Bowl has the advantage of not being on my birthday this year, so I am looking forward to it.

I love the rain as much as the next Seattleite, but it's getting a little ridiculous. If it were a normal constant drizzle it would be no problem, but it's actually raining! The ground is completely saturated, the lakes, ponds, rivers, and streams are all overflowing, and we're starting to have mudslides. :scared:

19. So what's unusual about that? Do you live in the desert?

[KitchenWitch]

20. It is winter in Minnesota

It usually snows this time of year...rain is dangerous in January here, while snow is not.

[RebelOne]

21. Yes, I know. Rain freezes over and causes dangerous ice.

I live in North Georgia and when it rains in the winter, we get ice storms.
