Hmmm...  Snow doesn't get one AS wet, but it needs shoveling, so in
small quantities snow wins for me, but in larger quantities of snow,
rain has its benefits, until one gets into flooding... or being soaked! 
(G)   Forest fires on the other hand are a definite drawback.

Here, April was unseasonably warm, but May was mostly quite nice, and so
far June has been likewise.  Cooler than normal, but VERY pleasant.  :)

Promising... :)

Makes good sense to me.  ;)

Keep us posted.  :)
