Appalachian sayings when it is raining while the sun is shining is that the devil is beating his wife, or that it will rain this same time tomorrow. Let’s go with the latter, due to the mindset of this comic.
If it’s early morning or late afternoon, it is very easy have the sun shining while it’s raining. It’s also possible for a cloud to dump a load of snow, and the cloud to move on before the snow hits the ground, thus snowing with the sun shining.snain is snow and rain mixed at the same time.snirt is when very cold snow falls on dry dusty ground and the two mix without dissolving, thus streaks of dust within the snow.
