miserable pissy rain

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.

Right now where I am we're alternating between bright sunshine and torrential rain every 20 or so minutes. This is apparently what the BBC Weather website calls 'light rain showers'.

You forgot the weird intermittent gales. I’ve cancelled the play date :(

It’s lovely here, sunny and breezy

There are a few dark clouds tho

Update: still raining

Something particularly annoying about this kind of mpr, especially when it threatens to pour down and flash flood but even when it is simply mpr.

This rain forced me to drink too much wine by stranding me in an Italian resto

It happens

Plan for today: Have a couple of glasses of wine and take care of some errands
Thanks to rain: Six glasses of wine, zero errands done

blame it on the rain

We needed the rain - it was seriously dry here for Spring.

Yeah it was needed, I agree.

So sometimes I’m really bad rain our car has trouble starting. Usually we wait 20 minutes or so no and everything is fine. Not today! Dead at the bottom of the Manhattan bridge, Brooklyn side, a bunch of lumber in the back seat. 2.5 hours so far waiting for tow. Pretty sure the battery is dead now too. Please somebody just murder me.
