A flood is a warm-weather blizzard.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
I think it's often a combination of the two. The most flood prone areas near me are the hilly mountainous areas where it can rain a lot. The floods typically happen after longish periods of heavy rainfall.
The point about topography is valid but floods are often triggered by rainfall, at least as the immediate precursor.
From a human perspective they're both extreme weather events, that can cutoff communities and are dangerous. Snow drifts will form by a combination of topography and wind.
