I thought I liked rain until I moved to the UK where it has rained almost everyday this year. On the plus side everything is a beautiful shade of green I had never seen before, funny thing is despite all the rain they still have water rationing here
I used to hate rain until the last drought broke in '02. Ever since then, rain has amazed me...the big downpours anyway, not the "fake" rain (drizzle, mist, etc.)
At least half of our rain is the "fake" rain you speak of:
It rains barely hard enough to make a road wet and rain slicked.
Usually it lasts for 6-12 hours with rainfall totals under 1/2 inch. (12 mm)
I recently moved to NC from CA so I don't know what several rainy days are yet.
One year I hear we had 23-26 days of rain in June. Probably 50-60 days with rain from June to August. Most of the summer it was too wet to cut the grass, so most of my neighbour's yards it was a foot high and had mushrooms growing in it.
Nothing in the world makes me happy like rainy grey days.. Right now its so dark and grey I need lights on in the house.. I love it.. and its windy so all the colored leaves are blowing everywhere and its suppose to rain for the next 3 days.. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Thankfully we're not normally that soggy.
Right now I think "soggy" would be good!! Especially in CA. Those poor people. When we think it's bad all we have to do is look around and someone else has it worse.

You're right. Guess something like they're having there sort of puts one's own problems into perspective.
I love walks on cloudy-misty days, it smells wonderful and is good "pondering" weather. But when we lived in Wisconsin, I liked those cloudy winter days mainly because it was warmer than clear, sunny ones.

Unfortunately being soggy in Toronto does not help southern California.
Yes I am thankfull we don't get any significant fires or earthquakes here, and hardly ever any tornados or hurricane remnants.
I actually have some relatives down that way who might have been affected by those wildfires.
I guess I'll probably find out in a few weeks if they're okay.
