|  | | | Does anyone else hate weather?
I'm entering a season where every weekday is bright, sunny, and hot, and every weekend day is cold, cloudy, and rainy.
I had a big trip planned out to this place, but it looks like we might have to cancel due to rain.

i used to but the futility of such things is obvious.... i was almost soley into drains at first with just a hint of topside attraction but frequent rain on my only days off simply encouraged me to find alternative locations.

| | | | Funny you mention that. Been beautiful here all week, but a storm is predicted for this weekend.
I don't mind exploring in bad weather. If anything, it's a good cover from risking getting caught in many places. I trudged through a field at night in dense fog to get to a farmhouse once.

| | | | There's some study that showed it tends to rain more on the weekends, because people travel more then.

Michigan has weather like this in the spring, so spring exploration is usually unpredictable.

| | | | Well it turned out I was too quick to condemn the weather, and not quick enough to point my finger at the real problem--shoddy weather reports. Saturday was clear skies all day. Good thing I didn't cancel the trip.

| | | | Letting weather ruin your trip is almost allways a waste - except if you have a specific goal you need certain weather for (like sun for photography or dryness for draining).
My only draining trip ever is called the "Aachen (d)Rain expo". We did see a lot of drains, but not from the inside, unless you count road tunnels that suddenly turned into drains. However, an area there (the slaughterhouse terrain) got this wonderful atmosphere in the rain...

| | | | Actually in hindsight rain would've been nice. It was raining as we took the bus out, and the clouds enveloped the mountaintops. It would've sucked for the hike, but would've probably made even better photos.
So the lesson is, go rain or shine, I guess.

Agreed completely. I hate the cliche that you can only get good pictures on a bright sunny day. I love taking pictures on an overcast day, during a rain storm, in heavy fog, during a snow storm, or at night! And even if photography isn't involved, I just allow myself to enjoy the variety of weather conditions and the way they affect exploring. It's all part of the adventure!

| | | | Rain isn't bad unless you're draining or its pouring rain. Most of the places around here are houses near main roads. So if its pouring rain people tend to stay inside & I have a less chance of getting caught.

Thats sort of the Catch-22. Tweekers and Homeless people some times kind of "seek out" the places that are abandoned because it is pouring rain. In San Diego when it rains (not often at all). Its almost impossible to go exploring the homeless people take residence in or around all the "good spots". The same is true even for cold nights. BUT I know you were not talking about them in specific, rather people that can "go home" when its raining too hard. I agree on that point.

That's not a problem where I live. Mason is in the suburbs & we live just far enough out to where there are a handful of small abandoned farm houses that haven't been turned into subdivisions yet. There is no way in hell the Mason police or the Deerfield township Sherrifs will allow ANY homeless people anywhere near here. Much less the soccer moms would allow it.

| | | | Hmm.. rain doesn't bother me at all. Actually, I find it kind of adds something to the experience. And I have to agree, the rain seems to keep people indoors.
I've noticed that no one mentioned snow. (I apologize if you did, and I missed it). I hate to be Canadian and talking about snow (but I know you're all aware that snow isn't the centre of Canadian lives, right?), but honestly, it is such a pain.
You leave tracks and have no way of covering them up (if you know a way, do tell, do tell), it hides tools that could help you out in, say, boosting you to an open window, and it screws with your wardrobe. I personally don't like to wear huge clodhopper boots when I'm trying to be swift, quiet, and am in front of a large wall that needs to be climbed.
Ha, so you say rain is bad? (Drainers, I exclude you.. you do have it bad in the rain) I say that that white fluffy menace needs to melt.
