We're not really taught how to drive in the rain and that leads to driving that's much too fast or much too slow, both causing accidents. <br />I miss having seasons very much because I did enjoy winters, but I can see where it would get tiring after the winter a lot of places had this past year and seem to be gearing up for already this year.Pumpkin Delight (Kimberly)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15754292671421221960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7071830940339914895.post-76864567729062725102014-12-04T00:28:01.903-08:002014-12-04T00:28:01.903-08:00We're the very same with snow.

If rain falls in torrents it can sheet over the tarmacadam at a depth that can cause aquaplaning. In general though road design flushes water to either side due to a slight doming. <br /><br />Answer about lense and bag over on mine, in a mo.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7071830940339914895.post-6648670377534193602014-12-03T22:27:39.272-08:002014-12-03T22:27:39.272-08:00It's weird!

While the rest of the world has rain and pretty much goes along as normal, we're paralyzed with inexperience. The kids are late for school, deliveries aren't made, the traffic accidents multiply. Rain is a freak of nature. We're such babies. :) I think the transplants who come here don't actually complain as much about the heat as the natives because they're so thankfully to not be snowed in half the year.

And then this afternoon/evening it dawned I cannot empathise. Remember the mind blowing head wreck when you first moved to New England with fog rain sleet ice and snow. Now reverse it. <br />Mind you I'd like to get used to your type of climate, of course I'd probably melt. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
