I'll just be happy if in 2013 we get less rain than in 2012. It looks like our wettest year since records began.

Nok,

We'll be happy to take some of the precipitation from you. We've been embroiled in a pretty severe drought for the past few years, here in the Central U.S.

The same goes for Southern Ontario.  2012 was by far the driest year we have ever had and it nearly killed the agriculture and horticulture industry.

I have a very low horizontal cross sectional area in comparison with a vertical cross section.

Further, it makes me look cool if I just walk in the rain unaffected by it as compared to those all around me who are running and falling ... ;)

What a surprise. It's raining again. When the weather is like this, it doesn't really matter whether you walk or run. You will get soaked either way.

It's raining here, light rain 10°C and a cup of coffee   :)

My mother says is a good thing because farmer needed water and this is the best way to have it.

No I won't go outside, my Christmas gift was a treadmill  :-\  no excuses now to skip aerobic exercise, the doctor says is important.
