I love rain - we don't get snow in Wainuiomata, but I love rain. I'd probably love snow too, but we don't get it.

Yea my friend, I have those same 2 wishes for you and yours.

Snow is good. Back home in Sweden, where the global warming has made the winter disappear almost completely, half the year is a rainy, endless anti-season. In that case, rain is nothing I really enjoy, as I don't enjoy anything. Summer rain is usually refreshing, though. Up here, the winter is so long that it leaves no room for spring, and even the fall is rather short. It's either summer or winter up here - good concept!
