I don't know what that means, but lovely scene

Looks as if it's already coming down stair rods. ☔☔

@narayani don't you have rain coming down in stair rods in Australia? Soon nobody will know what it means here either! (and photo was taken on 20th)

@narayani tho' actually, looking at google, it appears they may be making a comeback!

[Annie-Sue]

@chrisiow might have to start complaining about the rain again soon!

[narayani]

@anniesue I've never heard that expression?!

[barbie]

haven't heard it here either!

@narayani @bf2016 I haven't made it up - se Google "This is a colloquial North of England expression. Stair-rods are the metal rods that hold stair-carpets in place on each step. The allusion is to rain which is so heavy as to appear like falling stair-rods." ;-)

@anniesue I'll believe you - not the sort of rain we ever get in Perth!!
