Would you rather it be raining or snowing? Why?
See for me, it depends. If I don't have anywhere I need to drive to, then let it SNOW! I love watching the snow fall and I just find it to be so exciting, especially right before the holidays. But if I have to travel then I'd say I prefer rain. Rain is so much easier to travel through. That can even be scary at times though.
Of course we probably all prefer sunny days - but I was more curious about what type of precipitation you preferred!

I prefer rain. because i came from tropical country, so it will be hard for me to adapt with the condition when snow falling. but i think seeing snow fall is quiet beautiful like i see in some movies :D but to feel the coldness of snow probably not an option for me

being in the tropics, yes I love the rain. but it's going to be a whole different experience of seeing the actual snowfall. it's one lovely sight, as well. but to choose which of the 2 i'd go for the rain still. nothing compares to it.

If it has to snow I like it to snow so much that you can't go anywhere and have to stay inside. Otherwise it is just a pain that makes life difficult. Rain is OK without wind! I always carry an umbrella but if it's really windy AND wet then it becomes pretty defunct.

Well, I like snow better. The white snow is really beautifut and when it falls on the earth, the whole world wears a white coat. The world becomes pure and all the noise is purified. It seems a world newborn. Of couse, I mean that the snow is not too heavy to be a disaster.

Hi Jennlk, it started raining since the wee hours until this morning. I hope it would be a sunny day then. My vegetable plants in the front courtyard need ample sunlight to grow flourish and robustly. My husband and I plan to have a visit by the side of the stream in the nearby wood. We will go after eating out this afternoon. We have prepared some peanuts, snacks and canned drinks to have fun there
Oh no....! It stars raining again! Our plan has vanished like a bubble now. It’s really disappointed and sad. We could do nothing, I think we have to spend our time hanging around the shopping mall. Watching new arrival stuffs shown in the displayed showcases
Have a nice day and happy posting

hello Jennlk84,
it's nice to watch snow falling but that's it. i prefer rain than snow for i can go out anytime i want without removing the snow along the driveway. besides of this, i don't need to wear thick jacket or winter clothes for that matter.

Well I feel the same way as you, If I don't have to go out let it snow, let in snow. However I love the rain to because we don't get much of either in New Mexico. So for us any type of precipitation for me is usually welcomed. I come from New York that I hated the rain. Being away from NY for almost 3 years now I can't believe how much I miss the rain. As for the snow I just don't miss the shoveling of it.

With me it's a bit funny. I love rain and I would choose rain anyday. It's something about rain that puts me in a good mood. But there are certain times when I actually enjoy snow. I have to be in the house with no plans of going out anywhere. But If I had to choose it would definitely be rain.

I prefer snowing.It is very beatiful.After snowing,we could play with snow.I like snowball fights and make snowmen.Playing in snow day is wonderful.This winter comes near and I look forward to a heavy snow.It is bad to dry in a snow day.But I don't have to dry,as I don't have a car.So I don't worry about snowing.
I don't like raining especially when I am out.It makes me dirty and wet to walk in the raining day.

Well obviously snow is much prettier and If I was just staying inside looking out the window, I would be happy to see snow, but since rain is usually not as dangerous as snow unless the rain is horribly bad and causing huge dangerous puddles on the road, I prefer rain because I am not afraid to drive in rain, however, driving in snow always worries me, I am afraid of sliding and losing control, or not being able to stop in time if someone slams their breaks in front of me.

I would say if I have to be out in it...then yes rain is much better but if I have a stocked cupboard, my big fluffy fleece pjs and dont have to go anywhere... then yes, snow is beautiful to watch and stay home and enjoy it.
I have a 6 yr old son and a 20 month old daughter that I know will have lots of fun playing in the snow this year....I can wait for the snow as I am in no hurry, but it will be cute to see them out in it!!
Happy mylotting.

I'm with you. Well, actually, it depends on what kind of snow it is - and of course what kind of rain it is. Would I want it to be blizzarding? Or uber-rain-storming? Heck no! I don't mind driving in snow or while it's snowing, but ice, ESPECIALLY black ice, is extremely hellish, and even worse in my crappy no-traction Saturn. So, if it's icy snow or if it's already been snowing for a while and ice is on the ground - I'd definitely rather have it be rain.
