I think part of the problem is that people have become isolated from the weather, as we moved from an agrarian society to other forms of employment. I still work outside for a living and people think I am nuts because I enjoy the varied weather. I don't always like getting wet, but that is for varied reasons. People are also amazed that I can look at the sky and determine that we x amount of time before we need to pack up and shut down. Actually that one isn't too hard here in the Midwest...those big shelf clouds are a dead giveaway.
