Any sort of inclement weather makes me ache. So yes to rain, snow and cold temperatures.

But it's so beautiful looking at all the snow falling.

Rain, sleet, snow bother me also. Any conditions that change the barometric pressure. Everytime it happens, I totally forget, and wonder why my body aches so badly. It’s not until a few hours later, I make the connection, then I feel dumb. Then, I’m like, DUH!!! 🙄
