They actually work pretty good in transition, but suck big time in the go 
and whoa department.  Standing water, big puddles, are a problem.  But 
heavy rain that is actively running off the pavement is not that bad. 
Gentle on the throttle and brakes.

Weather is something that is regional.  In Texas, Louisiana and Florida we 
are more accustomed to sudden thunder storms with lightning.  That 
probably is the reason we'll wait until the last minute.  We've grown up 
watching it.  And Arthur, do like Lee Trevino, hold a one iron up over 
your head.  8^)  For those that don't know the joke.  Lee said, "Even God 
can't hit a one iron."  Lee has subsequently been struck twice by 
lightning.  God does have a sense of humor.
