It doesn't stop raining here between November and March.  (...except
when it snows.)

 
I had a motorcycle in New Orleans. It would reliably rain hard between
about 1 and 3 PM most every day, but I could bike to/from work.
 
If I got caught once in a while, it was nice warm rain.
 
In Truckee, up in the mountains, it can snow any day of the year. I
skiied Sugar Bowl once on the 4th of July.

English Winter 'rain' is rarely pleasant.  We tend to have long spells
of cold drizzle that chills to the bone and eventually penetrates to the
insides of houses, making them clammy and damp if they aren't heated
well (which is very expensive).  Nothing ever gets properly dry for
weeks or even months on end.

Dry snow is a rarity as the temperatures usually hover just above and
just below freezing, so the snow is wet and slushy.  Warm rain sometimes
occurs - but only in Summer.
