I love the winter because i don't have to worry about what i'm wearing and can hide under and coat and scarf. I've always like the rain because when you go out there's usually not that many people and even if there is you can hide uner an umbrella. When it rains i always have the urge to go out. Most people see the rain as a negative thing but i've never understood that.

Rain and snow are things I don't mind looking at, but I hate walking in them, and since I use public transportation everywhere I go, I'm always stuck having to bear the elements.

But, I LOVE seeing women wearing their coats, scarfs and gloves! :inlove:
 
It depends. If it's been raining for days I get sick of it. Otherwise I generally find it soothing and sometimes fun to walk in.

Cold weather is better than hot weather in my opinion.
I find rain entrancing. I like watching it run down the window or watching all the little splashes in a puddle.

Only problem I have with the rain is that it turns my hair into a frizz ball.

Love the cold, dark, dreary days. That's when I'm happiest. Eeyore was my favorite childhood character.. go figure.

I love the rain, the only thing I like more is snow. But this is probably due to the fact that I live in a rain shadow, which is generally to warm for snow.

I lost power a week or so ago for 5 days due to snow, trust me, you are missing nothing.

You have me! Precipitation. Both refreshing

A tiny fact I know about me was that at pre-school, I loved splashing around in puddles mightily, making the water go everywhere. I still love watching the rain from the window, and understand the power it has. I prefer the hardest. Not the drizzle. I never use an umbrella. I think of rain as the perfect hair gel.

I benefit from the heat my body generates. I am very different from everyone else and proud of that. I wear much thinner clothes than the wrapped-up type. No scarf. No hat. No boots. No gloves. When it rains heavily, I get caught unaware, but always best off in sandals and t-shirts when the water flows over the feet and between the toes. More practical than the damage to posh shoes. My wet clothes seen dry themselves on my body heat. I have high blood pressure, which I was surprised to hear that, years ago. Any light coat or jacket or jeans make me really hot and sweaty, especially if marching or running. I get stared at by the wrapped-up type. Not made for tropical climates at all.

As for the difference between me and heavily social types who smile & laugh and it comes naturally in behaviour and rooted in the genes? I think my Dad passed me the introvert / shy genes. I see dainty, humble, fragile types, who cower, wincing forlornly in rain (even drizzle) in the pathetic mummy logic that if you every go outside in rain you'll get very sick with a cold or flu and might die if you don't take mighty precautions. Rain & snow don't kill you - as reflected in people's humble attitude.. Floods are horrible when it destroys your home.

I expect everyone to see the powerful properties of snow - its pure white structure, as a sheet of photocopier paper with no colour added until you do that, and can be sculptured. Snow is always entertaining and to be loved. When it turns to slush and muck caused by cars and the usual dirt, road mess from diesel and any microgarbage, which I'm used to, any day when riding a bike - the dust coats my tyres and legs and rucksack, this grey snow and ice compacted by vehicles shouldn't scare people when it gets stuck around the wheels and car underbody. The dark material that flushes off roads and ends up in little rivers heading for the drains.

The only time I like rain is when I don't have to go outside. It's nice to admire from a distance but I don't particularly enjoy being in cold, wet weather. I think there's more beauty in sunshine and heat.
