Sounds like a downpour! Be sure to stay warm!
Is it typical to get lots of rain instead of snow this time of year in Scotland?
I would say so... but it rains alot in general, lol. We tend to get snow around January, but you never know what the weather is doing these days!Sounds like a downpour! Be sure to stay warm!
I'll tell her.
We are complete sissies about the snow compared to the rest of Canada, and I'll be the first to joke about that. Not fun to drive through. 
I‘m in Vancouver USA and it’s similar. I love the memes(cartoons?). E says I’m behind on the lingo. We normally get a whole lot of rain. The new trend is cold and dry, though.Well, to be fair, most of the rest of BC gets a good, heavy dose of snow in the winter. It's just us in the Lower Mainland (and the Island) that have no clue what to do if we even get a dusting of the stuff.
Allow me to share some cute images I found regarding that.

We actually got a tiny bit of snow fall in town in early November, actually. It didn't STICK, but it was still snowfall! At least one of our skiing mountains opened up a week early. In another (possibly?) weird bit of weather, though, the last two days it's been really foggy at night. At points, almost "can't see 5 feet in front of me!" fog.
That all said, hope your winter doesn't get TOO much snow, @Skybreeze . I like the snow, especially if it's at Christmas, just so long as I don't have to go anywhere, and/or it doesn't last long. ^_^;
Exactly! One year we had snow midway through may
and it killed off all the pretty flower that had started growing
This is so correct. But let’s be real, the mountain folk in BC are used to large amounts of snow but they didn’t send in the army for a small dusting. Just because y’all were slipping and sliding without proper snow equipment. ;pWell, to be fair, most of the rest of BC gets a good, heavy dose of snow in the winter. It's just us in the Lower Mainland (and the Island) that have no clue what to do if we even get a dusting of the stuff.

That’s why a lot of Canadians move to BC, trade the snow for rain and beautiful nature. I’d move in a heartbeat if I could.
Fred says “thank you!”Exactly! One year we had snow midway through may
Fred looks so cute out in the snow though!
I'm in the Pacific Northwest USA also, and I can definitely vouch for the comics. XD We do usually get a lot of wet, muddy weather in the winter, and then the trend over the last handful of years has been to have one snowfall event where we get snow up to our ankles or shins, it completely shuts down the city, and all the kids come out to sled on hilly neighborhood streets while parents watch for the occasional intrepid vehicle attempting to make it up or down. It's gorgeous to go for a walk in, those of us with shovel-like implements attempt to shovel, and then a few days in we are absolutely sick to death of it, LOL. After a while it melts off and we're back to freezing overnight, and our old houses that were built before insulation was such a concern just draft and draft. I wish that were easier to fix!
