Rain Explanation

Explanation of my new found rain love:

In Idaho, it does not rain down.

When I was young, I would look at a blue sky, and dread would fill me. For some reason, at least that summer, intense blue sky brought in rain. Not just any rain, but windy, haily, freezing, in your face, tree falling down, power outage, lightning fire, landscape destroying rain.

Here, it just rains down (not sideways, coldly slapping you in the face); it is a pitter, patter rain, cooling things down and making them green, and giving a little afternoon nap darkness.

So, my Idaho friends, I like the rain in Utah. It rains down.
