Imagine living in a country where it rains half the time (not exactly Scotland, but close enough to be considered 'mostly rainy') and nobody ever bothers to bring an umbrella...
It's like only tourists or people who're extremely into fashion bring umbrella's with them...
I like a bit of rain and a bit of heat with some nice in between cooldown periods, but I like snow the most. Sadly that's pretty much the only thing we hardly ever get...
Why does our weather never know what it wants... At least we never get extreme weather conditions.
