Rain in the Bay

Rain creates puddles, ruins your styled hair and makes everything slippery. Not things I like. I knew it would be colder, gloomier and all around foggy. I didn't quite realize that San Francisco and the Bay Area would get so much rain. On average, San Francisco is wetter than Riverside by 9.6 inches, and Riverside is warmer by 11 degrees. I never really used an umbrella and only had light rain jackets/windbreakers when I lived in Riverside. Now I want to spend a paycheck at The North Face or REI for good, warm, waterproof jackets and clothing. I went through a can of scotch guard water proofing spray to treat my shoes and jackets.
