Heavy rains coming in from the East at 45 degrees or less. At least the rain-barrels will get loaded. The forecast called for 2-3" of rain. It looks like more to me. At least the sideways rain is not aimed at my detached garage or the front of my detached woodshed. The metal roof on this little log house is roaring.

Why do people say "I'm glad this is not snow"?

Is there a deeper meaning behind "I'm glad this is not snow"?

While the phrase itself may not have a deeper meaning, it can be used as a metaphor for being grateful for things in life that are not as challenging or problematic as they could be. It can also be a reminder to appreciate the present moment and not take things for granted.
