Westwind 638 Posted November 7, 2020 Hmmm....I better get busy. I'd planned on 12 polls for the year. When it comes to a 'Dark and Stormy Night', what kind of precipitation do you prefer Rain or Snow. (Yes, yes, I know, there could also be sleet, or graupel, or hail, or dust, or.......anyway, Westwind's Random Polls of 2020 are only allowed two choices.

Teralyon 196 Posted November 7, 2020 I would definitely be a hard choice for me if it was a nice summer rainfall or snow just slowing falling with no winds then id pick both since I always found both of them calming. But for 'Dark and Stormy Night' I have to go with rain, snow leaves to much work future me has to deal with. 2 Nagaraningrad and Westwind reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Winnipeg 136 Posted November 8, 2020 Rain 100%...I don't have to shovel it! Plus it's a literal Blizzard outside right now, so I'm sure that "didn't" influence my choice at all. 1 Westwind reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big Bad Badger 822 Posted November 9, 2020 I miss snow. I love winter and the cold. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Winnipeg 136 Posted November 9, 2020 Well, for those that love it here is what's outside my house right now...you're welcome to come shovel it for me. :p -19°C currently. Forecast is calling for an increase to -1°C today followed by another dump of snow tonight. 2 Darkesia and Westwind reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darkesia 609 Posted November 9, 2020 Snow doesn't flood the basement and I can hire a neighbor kid to plow, snowblow, shovel the snow. Rain just makes stuff mold. 1 Westwind reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Westwind 638 Posted November 10, 2020 Kids 'round this part of the country won't shovel snow, won't mow lawns. They refuse then complain they have no money. *rollseyes* My basement was flooded by the snow when I lived in Wichita. Then flooded again when the pipes broke from freezing. The house was also burgled there after a snowstorm - they left footprints in the snow, the cops refused to investigate. (Yes, Wichita sucks. They also closed the parks with a permanent 7pm curfew and banned outdoor concerts. You could only buy 3.2% beer, and had to be a 'member' to go to a bar. The radio stations were all Country music except for one with Classical music.) Westwind has a difficult time choosing. After a decade in the land of nine months straight of rain, and two decades of nine months straight of snow......ugh. Might be time I moved to the desert. BUT.....if it's a 'Dark and Stormy Night', wouldn't the snow brighten things up so it wouldn't be dark? 1 Darkesia reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Giovanniland 295 Posted November 10, 2020 I chose rain because, well, there's not really snow in Brazil. And I like the soothing sound of rain, especially when I can sleep hearing said sound. 1 Westwind reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nagaraningrad 4 Posted November 12, 2020 If only dark, i prefer snow and i never see snow. but, it's stormy and snow is considered solid and same as brick or pebble, they all solid. ah, think about it. better be wet rather than hit with solid thing 1 Westwind reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Av Libertas Vindex 7 Posted November 21, 2020 I never get tired of seeing fresh snow, its everything that comes along with it I get tired of. Still prefer it over rain though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
