After spending some time in Vancouver I doubt you'll ever refer to it as
some rain ever again.
I still remember a phone conversation with my wife (then girlfriend) who was living in Vancouver at the time.
Her: You know when it rains so much that you pant legs get wet up to your knee?
Me: No
Her: There's so much rain that when you walk around your pants get soaked between the bottom and the knee.
Me: You mean to tell me that it rains so much in vancouver that the rain defies all reason and goes up?
Her: More or less, ya.
Now what she was getting at is that the ground is so saturated that whatever clothing touches the ground just soaks up water until it reaches your knee. Regardless ... that's a hell of a lot of water.
I know the cold and wind sucks, but at least we get reprieve every few weeks. Plus we can use the snow to our advantage if winter sports are your thing.
