      More like pipe stems, no? As in the stems of pipes for smoking tobacco.

      Also used: it’s dog weather (het is hondenweer)

        I was thinking about broomstick stelen. But yeah, ‘stem’ makes sense.

        Hondenweer technically is about the weather in general, not rain specifically. A snow blizzard or a storm can also be hondenweer.
