Traditionally, the December-January months have been rainy months. NOt real downpours, but more like drizzles or really heavy fogs. called " Nortes"...not too many in recent years due to climate changes but every now and then we get a string of rainy days...makes it seem more like Christmas...Ho Ho Ho!!!

Only time of the year i can wear long-sleeved shirts...

Any way you look at it, its better than the foot plus of snow already on the ground and more piling up, -11 C or 12 F ....ETC. Wish I was there, rain or not.

Amen to that! On top of a day-earlier 6-8 inches, and a week-earlier ice storm, there are those of us who have already had more than our fill of this winter, which isn't even a day old yet.

If the good god is willing, and the creeks don't rise, and the airports remain open, I'll be there in three days. Knock on wood.

I arrive in Puerto Plata Christmas day. I checked the weather and saw 30% chance of rain for at least the first week I'm there. Should I expect rain for a few hours a day followed by sun or all day rain? I have not had a day off since June, here in Alaska, that it wasn't raining, and was really looking forward to building up some vitamin D while I was there.

You will have no problem building up your vitamin D. Yesterday was beautiful with no rain and today looks the same.

Perrrrfect! The sun has actually been out here the last few days, which means we are about -20 F with the wind chill, so I'm looking forward to 80 even if its raining.
