From sept through July it is rainy gloomy and dark. then in July we get a short summer. But sometimes an April break of nice weather happens. The year we moved here in the 70s it was April and 75 degrees for a week or so. People were going to the lakes and sitting on the shores. We couldn't understand it. We thought they could wait until summer when it was really warm, Boy, were we idiots!! Sometimes that is the only warm break all year. You grab it when you can. And you better not like dining al fresco very often or you will be eating food diluted with rain.
