Chemtrails! The government is poisoning us! Don't worry guys, if you put the tinfoil hat on tight enough, you are completely protected from the radiation these things give off. I wouldn't leave my house without that tinfoil hat!

That's cool you guys still remember what rain looks like. My aunt posted some umbrella picture (she lives in Vegas) with a fan inside of the umbrella and was trying to explain how this contraption works. I told her that up here in Oregon, see we use the umbrella to shield you from this "rain" that falls, like water from the sky, and the umbrella provides protection. Very different uses for that device, apparently :P

Holy cow, we were out driving in it and ice hit the windshield and accumulated on the car. When we got home (Providence, NW corner), there was ice all over our back yard. Took a while to melt too.

Feel gifted. Those are fun stories when the tourist claim how it never rains here...and you can top that with ice or hail in April.
