MidWest US, All this Rain!

Seems like since Father's Day, every single day is a crapshoot as to whether or not the commute will be a wet one. We've had so much rain here in SW Ohio that it feels like April. It's even raining right now. We almost never get rain in July!

The rain is so frequent that it's gotten to the point where if it's not thundering with flashes of lightning or a heavy downpour in the morning when I prepare to leave, I'm going to ride. I certainly will not go by the forecast. They call for rain everyday, especially in the afternoon. 4 out of 5 times, it has rained, but the afternoon commute worked out well anyway.

Tomorrow is another one of those days. The forecast calls for heavy T-storms, with damaging winds and hail from 3 until 7PM, which is right in the breadbasket of my commute. But, the AM forecast is dry, 5% chance of rain. So...I'll probably go to work by bike.

How does weather affect you guys/gals? Does rain deter or are you all immune to it?
