Why Rain is the Best Form of Precipitation

Ever since I was little, I have always loved rain. Have you ever sat out on your patio during a storm and watch the rain pour down? Making puddles and drenching everything below it. That is one of my favorite things to do. That is what this essay is about. RAIN!

When it rains, you can hear the pitter patter on your roof, or on your window pane. Most of the time that certain sound makes me feel safe and calm. Why? If you imagine standing in the rain getting drenched and being scared out of your mind of getting struck by lightning and are frightened by the sound of thunder, then you could imagine why being INSIDE makes me feel safe. The sound of thunder is a little scary to some people, so the soft sound of rain is a sweet sugar cookie in comparison to the booming roar of thunder.

I also like the feel of the rain on your skin, It's actually almost indescribable. I guess it depends on what kind of rain you are feeling. To me, rain feels like a warm outdoor shower, with clothes on..... Weird right! Cold rain feels like tiny shards of glass are landing on your skin, but not really stabbing you, then they gently, gracefully roll of of your skin.

After it rains, most of the time, you will see a pretty little rainbow, with all the colors, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple. SO PRETTY! Have you ever tried to get to the end of the rainbow, in hope that there is a big pot o' gold at the end? Some people say that the rainbow just goes on and on forever and ever, it never stops. But nobody really knows. In the fall, when all the leafs fall off the trees, you can see that after a nice long rain, you can see the droplets of rain on the empty branches, gently rolling. And in the spring ( same scenario) you can see the droplets of water rolling of the leafs, swiftly flying through the air onto the ground or the next leaf. Some of the droplets get stuck in the spider webs. All of it is truly magnificent.

Not to be rude but... why would you even consider liking snow, ice or sleet? They all just stay on the ground, and honestly, I am absolutely positive we could live without snow, sleet, and ice... if you think about that snowstorm/ blizzard we just had, I think you will agree with me when I say that rain is WAY better! A lot of the countries near the equator don't even get rain at all. But every country gets rain at some point of the year! We need rain. Without it we would have no plants, trees, flowers, crops, NO PRODUCERS!!! We would all DIE!

So you see, rain is VERY important, useful, and definitely THE BEST form of precipitation, but if I can not convince you... then fine, go ahead and like some other form of precipitation, but when starts disliking you back, you can go ahead and water your plants, crops, tees ect. with snow, sleet, or ice! I can already tell you that it won't work out well!
