For rain

1. To remind you that the gutters on the roof need to be cleaned.
2. So you have an excuse to cuddle with your cat.
3. Because the wet dog smell will remind you to give the dog a bath.
4. When it is raining, the sky becomes a beautiful shade of gray.
5. It's a free car wash! All you need to do is toss on some soap.
6. Becoming cold and wet helps you remember why sunshine is a wonderful thing.
7. When the storm causes a blackout, you finally get a good reason to sit down and read a book by candlelight.
8. Some really cool pictures can be taken while it is raining.
9.  The rain can provide ideas for future stories or scenes. If nothing else, the storm will provide an opportunity for research.
10. It can be easy to fall asleep when listening to the sound of raindrops.
