"Lost. In the Beauty of Bad Weather", an illustrated book by Christophe Jacrot

"And as always I like to add the North-European saying: "There is no bad weather, just bad clothing."."

And I like to add that doesn't work for (most?) travelers. As opposed to local people.

Travelers have to carry limited wardrobes so they have to "guesstimate" the situations they will be in. Local people have home bases with much larger wardrobes and something even more valuable; knowledge and appreciation for the local weather conditions and how/when they change.

I like bad weather. And I can tolerate wider conditions than Marie who is a lot more sensitive about those issues. So, not so good clothes is not a big deal if I happen to find the day so.

edit: Should have mentioned there are ways to cope, such as layering, many of which I've learned here.

Also Northern people travel with the same quantity limitation. Sometimes it is more about the material, the functional design and the quality of clothing.

Yes it is.

And knowledge of such is something to be acquired by new travelers. When you're starting out, reliable knowledge is one of the better ways of coping. But when you're starting how, how do you know what's reliable? That's a big part of what Rick provides for new travelers. But there are certainly other sources.

this illustrated book is a special answer not to avoid bad weather but
to find the beauty in it.

I've always thought that all a location needs is a bit of snow to make it look better. My wife and I were in Banff, Alberta earlier this week and we discussed this very thing; how much nicer the Canadian Rockies look with snow on them. On an evening stroll last week it was snowing and that small layer of snow on the fir trees and store fronts add to the charm.

*I love that 2nd photo on the link of Iceland.

I agree on both, Robert and Allan.

What I also learned from journeys is that different cultures and people have different understanding of "bad weather". For a lot of people working on ships in Norway wind and sea waves are bad weather but not heavy rain or some snow. Of course people who are driving vehicles see that differently.

I like the second photo too. It could also been taken in Sweden or Norway where a lot of houses are painted outside with the famous Swedish Falun Red which is more weather resistant than other colors.
