Of course, the solution is to go back to nomadic ways: wander to where the best weather is located during specific times of the year. Summers here are hard to beat... is it true that summer is scheduled from August 4th to the 7th this year???
We feel fortunate to be able to wander around. It isn't a coincidence that these "fun summer jobs" are located in places we want to spend an entire summer season. For seasoned wanderers (pun intentional), summers can be a challenge: all the "amateurs" are out there in RV parks, playing with boats, filling up the National Parks, screaming kids, smokey bonfires... just like you'd expect. So, many full-time RVers and boaters "lay low" during the summer. When everyone goes back to their regular lives, you have spring and fall that are great times almost everywhere in the US. Winter - time to head south.
One man's "perpetual cloud" is another man's interesting experience. How close is that count-down clock these days, Pat?
This topic always reminds me of another Hawaiian saying: "Never judge a day by the weather." Easy for them to say, 'cause they have plenty of sunshine.
But, it does bring up another perspective: people who say that have
obviously never lived where it gets below zero for weeks at a time and
they're up to their ass in snow. 
You can't change the weather. You can, however, enjoy where you are or change your situation. When we were in the Tetons and we'd get that occasional day of rain, people would grouse... I'd tell 'em, "You're here for a short time, in one of the most beautiful places in the country. Go buy a cheap rain poncho and get out there and take it all in. You never know what tomorrow brings."
Just tryin' to spread a little ... sunshine.
