miserable pissy rain

slapdown for the first ilxor to use pissy in its former (and incorrect) negative sense

pissesque

floods on the road of my mother's house again. Wood st E17 area. a year and a month after first flooding in a few decades.

sounds from posts I've read as though people were just getting things back together after last year's damage and been hit again. & the drains weren't as cleaned as intended.

Thames Water probably too busy anxiously waiting with finger trembling over the "RELEASE RAW SEWAGE INTO WATERWAYS" button at first sign of a deluge, rather than considering getting things together. Private Water is a fucking criminal enterprise, it really pisses me off. Anyway when the YW hosepipe ban kicks in I'm still going to continue putting the pool in my garden and filling it. Just to tempt the neighbourhood grass into action and see their disappointment when I inform them they are wasting their time because disabled blue card holders/priority service users are exempt from the ban. ha-ha-ha-ha

Won't you spare a thought for the annual marrow-growing contest?

is that wet enough for yer?

would like this to stop please as my flat is currently flooding :(

oddly mine did the other day but is dry as a bone today. some wind directions are much worse than others (for apparently at least 2 different reasons - onto front windows = them leaking, onto upstairs' windows = them leaking *through* her flat and into mine)

Seemingly two week's rain in 20 minutes, and I got caught in it. I had an umbrella but even so, bottom of trousers and right sleeve of shirt soaked.

New cagoule was delivered yesterday, so bring on the rain.

Been raining for about 10 hours. need to go buy breakfast but I'm not sure i even have anything waterproof to wear.

Thursdays are when I take Widget to the Heath but not in this weather! If it were light drizzle I might still go, but at this point he doesn’t even want to go out to pee.

So much rain that the drains are overflowing.

Two big puddles on either side of the road

the roads were flooded out round Turnpike Lane station this morning, thankfully the tube station itself is not yet a sewer

These cagoules rule - but get a size bigger than you think you need. My co-workers think that 'cagoule' is a hilarious word. But I'm still dry after walking a mile in the rain, while they're soggy after walking over from the car park in a fleece.

it did give up enough for me to walk around park and supermarket but yes, big puddles, probably the biggest i've seen. both blocked drains on the roads and waterlogged grass in the park

Right in time for the New Year.

Northern California is getting nailed this week... a series of storms for the next ten days

England is so filthy sometimes that even the rain - literally purified water falling from the sky - feels dirty somehow.

Can handle the rain, the miserable low pressure and accompanying headaches not so much

it was grey walking along the river this morning and kind of fun because i was underdressed for it and it felt more of an adventure.

every time this weather comes round I long to leave again, but too tied to house/job now and would be too difficult for the kids

I have been wondering about that lately x poste - I think I have been getting atmospheric pressure headaches

welp

miserable pissy snow?

if it's gonna be this fucking cold at least snow is how I break it down to a certain extent

Got full-on snow here

If I have to drive, I take rain so personally like I need to pick the kids up at 4 so OF COURSE it's going to be raining at 4. Because you know that's how rain works - spite.

I concur; after a day of miserable pissy wet snow it's finally settling here enough for the kids to play in.

In the South East of England, snow is usually more like 3D rain.

ffs

snow? lol call the wahhmbulance. j/k

The sun is out here in L.A. after more than 24 hours of continuous rain. It's pretty nice.

the rain can fuck off now

I’m just glad that Widget isn’t hassling me to go out!

Impossible to know what to wear these days

^^^ cosign - 'light rain' can mean 'alternating between heavy rain and sunshine every 10 minutes'.

just lost my electricity for the 2nd time in a week

it's like a cycle out there

cyclone!

well just, like, fuck you man

So glad I’m staying in today!

Might brave a trip to Bake Street for lunch.

Sure it will come pouring down as soon as I do so.

Widget is asleep with all four paws in the air when he would normally be agitating for a walk.

might as weill live in glasgow tbh

bank holiday special

Should clear after lunch in London. My whippet has a play date with his brother later this afternoon so I hope we aren’t rained off.
