I wish it had rained for closing last year. I thought the heat was going to kill us both!

Gotta love the cooler weather for Faire... even if it's both COLD and wet.  Cool and wet is nicer, although I do like being able to wear my cold weather garb, and it's so seldom that I get to show off my cloak that I'm excited when I actually get to wear it through the gates and keep it on all day!

I like rainy weather for garb shopping because the crowds are lower.

But I don't like a rainy season because it kills the crowds which spend their money at the Faire.

I realize that I don't go as frequently as many of you, due to the distance from home, but so far, I've never encountered rain at faire. My time is due.

Just saw on tonight's forecast that the high will occur around Midnight Sunday, with temperatures falling to the mid-60s by the end of the day, and 50-60% chance of wet stuff....oh, and I'll be drumming that day  :-\

I like misty weather - pouring down rain not so much. Mud makes wallking uphill difficult.

We were at Scarborough some years ago when lightning hit a tree behind the fair. My hair really did stand on end from the ion charge; don't want to repeat that.

I don't believe I would be up for storms at faire either. I think I've had enough of storms for a while.  Cool with a light mist sounds lovely to me.
