I live in Ireland so its dull and rainy quite a lot and it does affect me a lot. Today was a rare sunny day and I actually felt good for a while

LOL

I just posted a Topic....it's raining like holy jeez outside...and rain triggers me BIG time.

Has to do with a flood warning and evacuation a few years back.

I hear ya Six, i live in SW Wa where rust isn't a color, it's just a habit.

lol Dryadsoul... yep rainy washington. hehehehe I just went to Target and they lost power with the little storm we are having. I am in the NW

I think the lack of sunshine effects so many in such a big way.. I dont mind rain in small amounts but if there are a few days of dismal weather it gives me that humdrum feeling..

I miss the west coast rain like mad. It is better than 5 feet of snow and seven months of winter and -40 for weeks any day.

I am so far north, that the lack of light really bothers me. I am looking forward to moving back closer to the 49th parallel, and having more light than 6 hours a day in Dec and Jan.

No I actually like weather. But I could do with out the extreme temperatures. I've always said if they could make snow that was room temperature I'd go out and play in it. LOL But I guess it just wouldn't be the same if it wasn't cold. It sure is pretty to look at.

Also with rain I have always loved rain. That might sound strange I guess but as a child I played in the rain a lot and heck even as an adult I've played in it. :) But I wouldn't play in it during winter or fall that is a little insane. To me nothing is more soothing than the sound of rain.

But I love sun too! :) Nothing like a hot day as long as you're at the beach or swimming pool! Guess I'm a little water baby, I love water I grew up on a sail boat (during the week ends). An experience I can't share with my kids (sail boats are expensive).

Maybe I don't like wind though. I use to as a child but now my ears can't take it. I wear a hood over my head no matter how worm it is, I'm just a bit finicky that way.

I enjoy the occasional rainy day, but after a few days of it I get depressed.

However warmer weather and the smell of Spring triggers some memories for me, I would rather forget some time.

It's been warm on the many rainy days we've had here. And cold on the sunny days. Can't win! Can't wait for spring. This weather really brings me down.

I live in a very rainy cloudy grey place and if you live like that you take it for what it is you dont let it get the best of you or else you move.

Why stay somewhere if it is going to get you down?

Get a light box I guess. Candles are always good. Walking in liquid sunshine is greaat, where I come from there are a zillion ways to do the weather report and say about the rain and 1500 types of rain coats.

People hve more smiles on their faces then anywhere else. I would move to a sunnier climate if the raininess got you down. Phoenic outlying areas are cheap and really dry.

This winter has really gotten me down, several feet of snow and below zero temps much of the time. I cannot wait until spring. I think my outlook on life will improve alot!
