I thought it would be fun to start a thread of funny sayings that may be common where you live but may sound unusual or even humorous in other places of the country.

1. Frog Strangler
2. A Toad Floater
3. (my grandpa, the farmer) called it a Gully Washer
4. Carry on....
We can then go from there to use expressions that describe other weather events:
for example:
It was hotter than:
It was cold enough too...
It was a dry as a ....
I was as mad as a ....
