Indoors Or Outdoors?

An interesting thought occurred to me this afternoon at work: when people talk about it raining/snowing or doing any other type of precipitation, they always say "It's raining/snowing/fill-in-the-blank OUTSIDE." As opposed to it raining, snowing or precipitating INSIDE.

I don't know why this hasn't really stood out to be before; I've heard this phrase all of my life. But I guess we just take it for granted that the precipitation will be occurring OUTSIDE instead of INSIDE. With global warming and the way that the weather is freaky, it's really anybody's guess.

It just struck me as interesting.
