Yeah, but when's the last time it rained here every day of the work week? 198 sunny days per year and 101 with some measurable precipitation. Our climate sucks in multiple ways but we do get a decent amount of sun and enough rain to keep things mostly green, - or white.
Spring and Fall we might see rain on consecutive days but probably not more than three in a row and in those cases it's usually a pretty light rain, - which is OK.
I realized last week that if I lived someplace where it was likely to rain 5 days straight then I'd need better gloves. Otherwise my clothes are OK.
It was hovering in the low to mid 30's today so we had rain and snow. As I said before, I'll take the snow in these temps over rain any day (except Spring, - don't like snow in Spring).
