Well, not for me. I live in a place where frontal rain goes on for ages loads and it's the ultimate depression weather. I like macho, yang, "alpha" weather. Hot and sunny, humid, and violent scary but shortlived storms. Not dweeby wet crap all day where I have my outdoor plans wrecked.

I like that sort of weather when I not working, but once I finish work due to weather, I don't want to have to go back if it clears up - which it usually does.

If it's going to rain on a work day, it can pour down all day.

The only thing better is to totally be snowed in. It is a day all to yourself when you can relax knowing no one will be coming by for anything more than hot chocolate and pop corn.

Yes I enjoy them generally, especially during summer where a rainy day is a rare and exciting event.

I'd love some good rain days right about now. Tired of this constant sunny, dry weather. It's normal in the summer here, but it's well into fall and the last significant rainfall was in September. Everything is still yellow and ugly and the Sierra Nevadas are getting no percipitation either, so no skiing.

On a side note, why do many places in the Eastern USA get green in the summer and brown in the winter, even if they get fairly even precipitation?

We're headed towards a major DROUGHT It's normal for June through September to be bone dry (we were lucky to get almost an inch of rain on that one day in September). However, no rain in October is not normal for us and it's even more abnormal to have zero rain in November (just checked the long range and the rest of the month is gonna remain BONE dry). I think this whole winter is gonna be well below normal in rainfall. .
But we may get a good storm or two in early spring. Do you remember that awesome thunderstorm we had in April of 2012? A night to remember: Thunderstorm shatters records - SFGate
That was also after a bone dry fall.

The northeast and midwest turns brown in winter because of the below freezing temperatures that kill the vegetation. I think the some of the Gulf Coast remains green year round. Florida turns brown because winter is their dry season.

On Tuesday 10th December, my place got 45 mm of rain in just 2 hours and I was extremely happy. For your knowledge, the average annual rainfall for my place is only 75 mm. 2019 is about to finish and we got since the beginning of the year 87 mm. I wish 2020 will be like 2018 when we got over 250 mm of rain.

I don't like rainy weather at all, especially if it is cold. I would like to live in a place where it only rains from thunderstorms lasting 1 hour or so a few times in summer.
