I've lived in the PNW for 22 years, so I know how to accept a lot of rainfall, but this year has been something more than that. It's probably more or less back to normal now, but I'm so shell-shocked that I find myself looking at the weather forecast and thinking "no more." I did mention maybe not riding home last Friday because of such a glance at the forecast. It ended up not raining at all during my ride. Last Thursday it rained for my entire ride in to work and the beginning of the ride home. I can get over this. I just need a bit of summer.
