Hi Myloters, I guess my first day here again in Mylot looks good to me but It's raining outside our office and I can't go home. :( Good thing there is Mylot so I could answer some discussions and post new one. Rain here in our country whether it's hard or not so causes traffic jams, causes flooding of the streets so people just decides to stay where they are and let the rain quite fade before going. How about in your country? Do you also stay and let the rain fade before going somewhere?

Well traffic seems to be everywhere now. Rain or shine there is traffic. Guess we need to learn to walk miles ha ha ha. No just kidding. Here in Manila the rain is hard during night time.

Rain does not slow us down any here. We go about our business. The snow does slow us down though depending on how bad that it is.

@rairaianne14 Yes and if the winds are strong it makes white outs which make it hard to travel.

Good that in your area rain does not affect your everyday travel. But yeah snow might slow down your day especially if it is quite heavy.

The rain just started here and it's not so strong. Well, I live in the countryside and not so traffic in here so I can still go home even if it rain.

It's really nice that you don't experience traffic that much. It's really annoyinh to travel 2 hrs before work then 2 hrs after work to get home when it rains.

Wow! But here in our country rain is just something usual. Sometimes we end up going to work wet due to the heavy rains. Or going home wet then coughing or sneezing. ??

I would stay home if the rain is too heavy. We had heavy rain this morning and late last night, but it's good because it makes the air so fresh. ![](/Content/images/emotes/happy.gif)

Sometimes it's okay to rain especially if it's very hot. But frequent rains is just too bad. It gets the kids sick from colds and workers are delayed to get home.

@miniam yes that's right. Waste of time hanging around when you should be travelling home. And son is waiting for mum to get home. So sad.

Hope so @5thHouse those are the days that really needs to rain. Humid and warm makes a gloomy day.

I don't like going out when it's raining because, in our country, it's very polluted. Sorry for the term.
There are areas that are very much prone to flooding even though the rain is not really that strong. And our drainage system is just awful. Even had issues with children drowning. ![](/Content/images/emotes/sad.gif)

@rairaianne14 Due to pollution brought by certain people, a lot of people continue to suffer. Lucky for us who have homes. Felt bad for the people living in the streets.

Yeah that's right. Rain and flooding is very awful in our country. flood is very dirty it will get you sick when you step on it. I remember when I was a kid some of the kids plays on the rain then after a few hours they are sick. That's why I am afraid to get really wet by the rain and of course flood.
