it's cold outside...

...and it has been since I got back from holidays in the Philippines. 

These past week, we've had temperatures hover around -5 degrees Celsius.  There are breaks when it goes up to 3 or 4 degrees, but they're short periods and usually punctuated with rain. 

I can deal with the cold, but not the cold AND the rain.  Nothing irks me more than wet pants (the legs that almost always gets wet) and wet shoes and socks. 

Can we have rain only in the warmer months and snow in the cold months?
