I like that kind of weather but not a steady diet of it... We had a fairly long string of those kind of days this fall and it got old after a while... It's good, at least every few days, to see the sun... It would be even better to see some snow instead of drizzle...

I don't know what it says about our personalities...but I love gray, dreary days also. Not that go on forever and forever, but a lot in a row do not bother me a bit. They really do not seem "dreary" at all. I could not live in an area that did not have those kind of days.

Great point! I don't feel that it is actually 'dreary' at all. I get energy from the overcast, cloudy, rainy weather like others get energy from the sunny weather. Sunny weather really drags me down fast.

The snow stopped and now the sun is partially out, so it's kind of drippy out there now. But the birdies ate all their food, so I'm glad in case it starts snowing or raining again.

Thank you, RedConvertibleGirl! Now if someone is surprised when I tell them I like misty, rainy weather I can tell them "Well, I'm a pluviophile!"

Nice thread. I can't remember if I responded already: rainy days are dreamy. I live for them. I like the overcast skies, thunder, the works!

And I totally agree about the sound of rain.

I love the sound of tires driving through puddles and the hypnotic repetition of windshield wipers. I've always liked having a rainy day outside when I'm at work too. And I love walking in a light rain in the spring, with the smell of the dirt and wet bark and the stirring of the new growth. Don't we all?

Now driving in torrential rain is obviously not so fun. Neither is having to walk in it. And if it looks like it might freeze, my coziness turns into worry about the roads.

But as long as you are safe and sheltered, stormy weather outside makes everything inside all the cozier. When it's nice outside, I get restless and want to be out. When it's drastically nicer inside than outside, my nesting instincts get triggered. I think I get flooded with oxytocin.

I love that kind of weather, too. Especially when the house is decorated for Christmas. Love looking at the lights on cloudy days. It makes it seem more cozy.

When I was working , on a very rainy or cold, snowy day I would always say "May as well be working today, wouldn't be able to do anything else".

My favorite kind of weather is cold, sunny days. I love snow on the ground and sunny blue skies. Kind of like Colorado or northern Arizona weather. I live in the PNW.on northern Puget Sound. I love cloudy rainy days. They don't bother me at all. Just an excuse to duck into my favorite cafe and spend an hour reading a good book with my favorite coffee. Although I love the amazing summers we have...sunny and 70. ETA: where I live, the rain doesn't stop.US doing anything. We run, hike, bike, kayak, etc.

What I really dislike are incessant heat and humidity and those days are somehow made worse when it's grey and dreary... I prefer it cooler, so love fall and like winter and if those come with a share of grey days, so be it.

I used to like rainy days but since my reality now is chronic pain, not so much; it just increases the pain level.
