Gorgeous picture, Machka. That about sums it up, if you didn't ride in the rain, you would have never had that scene to enjoy.
Like everyone else said, just dress for it and you're good to go (you dress appropiately for skiing, dress appropriately for riding in the rain or cold). Fenders can be a big help. I actually saved the doppler gif from right after my 43 mile ride on Tuesday. Got a little wet but it was a great ride.
