Or that's what I grew up hearing. When it's raining while the sun is shining. Been doing it here over an hour. Some really hard rain too but the sun still beaming down. Put some salt out Saturday so I need it.
LUCK:::; When presistence, dedication, perspiration and preparation meet up with opportunity!!!

Yep, heard the same thing: "Devil's beating his wife with a frying pan" when it's raining while the sun's shining.  She won't put up with that for long!

Talked about that yesterday. Seems the idea went back a few centuries.

That and when it's raining but the sun is out "angels are crying"
Character is not developed in moments of temptation and trial. That is when it is intended to be used.

Recently, NewsTalk 98.7′s Phil Williams used the expression the Devils beating his wife on his show, listeners from the southern states knew what he meant while listeners from the northern states were a little less in the know about what he was saying. Whenever you hear someone say the Devils beating his wife, the speaker means that the sun is shining while it rains. In other words, its what some people call a sun shower.
But how did it get to mean that? Some say that its because, quite obviously, the Devil is angry with God for creating beautiful sunny days, and when the Devil gets angry enough about it, he takes his anger out on his wife by beating her. She, in turn, cries large tears that fall from the sky and turn into raindrops. Since this is the explanation for the saying, it makes sense that the expression should exist even though the action itself is criminal. Then again, it would prove next to impossible to charge and prosecute the Devil for any wrongdoing, including domestic assault.

Yup, with a frying pan. That's what my grandmother always said.

Anybody else know about sticking a nail in the ground when it's happening?

I always heard if it's raining while the sun is shining, then it's going to rain again the next day. Top Cat will have to let us know if the saying is true or not...will it rain there again today?
Sky's blue as a robin's egg and already hotter than cray-cray today. No rain today.
