When the weather sucks (and really, based on the picture, it didn't look ***that*** bad), nobody shows up. When the weather is good, though, people do show up and it's generally pretty good. But to compare, the St. Patty's Day festivities in Pittsburgh had about the same weather as this article describes, yet the streets were teeming mad with people. Weather doesn't scare people away here (although I do kinda wish that it kept Hillary out of the parade that day, but that's another story ;-) ... On another note, though, I suppose bad weather ***might*** scare people away in Phoenix, Arizona, but that rarely happens, and I haven't seen it yet (90% of the year is sunshine out there), so people rarely complain (except maybe about the heat, but that doesn't keep people away),...
