The running joke around here is that we have four seasons: Almost Winter, Winter, Winter's Almost Over, and Road Construction.
The other joke is that you can tell when summer's here because the rain gets warmer. I'm in a microclimate out on the end of a peninsula and it seems to always be foggy and rainy here. Five miles in any direction and it often lets up.
Also, living in a place like this, you get to the point where you realize that you're going to be wet no matter what you do. You can let it stop you, or you can roll with it. It's amazing how fast you acclimate; it's 45 and raining right now and I just got back from a 4-mile run in a T-shirt and shorts. I saw another runner out there doing the same thing, going the other way, both of us soaked to the skin. I won't wear a running jacket or a hat anymore unless it's in the 30's or it's really a goose-drowner. A hot shower, a cup of coffee, and it's like it never happened.
