Pocatello knows how to snow. We tend to get a ton of that over there, but, it really doesn't RAIN that much. We have our season of cloudbursts and occasional rainy weather, but nothing like I saw today.
After Gustav hit, apparently it continued north, so we got a little aftermath of it today. HOLY CRAP! I have never driven when it rained so hard that I had to run the window wipers full blast and I still couldn't see. It was awesome! While shopping, Jayda and I had some fun running from store to store in the rain, which wasn't even cold. Jayda loved splashing in the puddles, and I just enjoyed the downpour. It rained pretty much all day. What's fun is that we have a balcony that lets us stand outside and watch the rain without getting wet at all. And our balcony faces Fairmount Park, so it smells so good! I love it!

I never knew what real rain was until I was back East (in basic training) as well. If it ever rains that hard in Idaho it never lasts more than a few minutes. The sad thing was I discovered it could rain like that at the beginning of a 12 mile march in the middle of the night, only our rain was freezing cold. Yuck!
I'm sooooo jealous! I LOOOOOVE THE RAIN! That's my only regret about Idaho- not near enough rain. Oh well. There's one more for the Pro column of 'moving to Philly'- eh? ;)
