We came to Scotland prepared for lots and lots of rain. We packed raincoats and boots, and I even hauled my rain pants over. We got here, and it rained. Then miracuoulsy the weather cleared and stayed sunny and warm for most of October. It has now become cold and has started to rain more. But whats wonderful, is that the sun is out at most days. It can be raining on one side of the house, and sunny on the other. We often see rainbows around our apartment building because of this crazy aspect of the weather. We have not so far missed the cold snowy winters of Michigan because the sun has shined upon daily... even if its only 20 minutes a day, its better than nothing.
