Saturday, September 28, 2013 5:50 a.m. There’s no sound quite like moderate rain. Light rain doesn’t make much of a sound at all, and heavy rain can be overpowering at times, especially if it is related with a thunderstorm. But moderate rain… that hits the spot. Moderate, consistent, soaking rain is great for just sitting […]
Biblical Rainfall Amounts in Colorado
Wednesday, September 18, 2013 4:13 a.m. (one of those nights…) Hey everybody! It’s super early Wednesday morning and I woke up and am having trouble falling back asleep.

Muggy and Rainy
March 11, 2013 10:40 P.M. I tried to be creative and somehow link the post I made ten days ago to this one, but when I typed “Lil’ Wayne Rain” or even “Lil’ Wayne Precipitation” on Google Images, all I got was Lil’ Wayne making it rain (aka throwing money in the air, because that’s what […]

Wet!!!
