bmccasland, don't let them scare you. The PNW is paradise! I would move back there in a second.

It's been a wacky year for weather all over the place. And yes, these late spring rains are strange, but if you move you'll probably go through a period of adjustment adapting to a different climate and different seasons anyway.

I hope you all get some good riding days in soon! I'm doing southern Vancouver Island this weekend, rain or shine, and I am woefully out of shape!
