Does Weather Affect your Writing?

Raindrops keep falling on my head,
and my deck...

For the last two week, it has rained.

The week before that, it rained.

Yesterday, it rained.

Today, it's raining. 

Tomorrow, guess what? Yep. It's gonna rain.

It's been raining here for what seems like months. It's not constant rain mind you, only scattered showers followed by torrential rains and  interrupted by a few moments of sunshine. The bits of sunshine serves one purpose-to tease and give false hope of a better day. Then, *boom* thunder clap, it's raining again rendering you borderline depressive. And not only is it raining all the damn time, it's also cold and windy. It's the middle of June and I've had to pull out the winter wool scarf, coat and boots. The only good thing about all this rain is I haven't had to water the vegetable garden. However, I am going to have to treat my tomato plants with Bordeaux mixture if this keeps up or I'll end up with rotting fruit like last year. Which may still end up happening. I'm good at gardening.

Anyway, many studies have been conducted over the years suggesting weather can affect ones mood in negative ways. There has been some back and forth as to what extent (ie, depression or the simple blues) but bottom line: 

Bad weather = Bad mood. 

And since I tend to be a tad on the sensitive side (read "I see dead people" no not really) then:

Bad weather = Bad mood = Bad (non-existent) writing. 

Here's my theory. And since I am a brilliant scientist beyond scope of human comprehension, the scientific method need not apply.

Extensive periods of rain generates disappointment 

Disappointment generates low self-esteem and lowers self-confidence 

Low self-confidence decreases writing on MS

And there you have it!

So, does the weather affect your writing? Do you live in an area where it rains a lot? How do you deal with bouts of bad weather? 

Note: if I find the tool that has been doing the rain dance all this time I'm going to break off his legs and beat him with the stubs. Huh? Seems extensive periods of rain also makes me crazy. (;
