Ha! EVERWHERE I've ever spent any time has that same saying!
I simplified it to: if you don't like the weather on Earth, wait a

I find that fenders are nice to have year round, and I live in a desert.

Generally I ride to work on wet streets in the morning and come home on dry
ones except for the days I do the opposite.

Across the bay in the North Bay. I actually like leaving the fenders on
until June or so - just for the quizzical looks of the summer-only riders.

That way, I'm also well past the potential for fender-removal or
just-washed-bike precipitation generation.

I find the act of changing fenders, racks, bags and intended purpose one of
the true pleasures of having Rivendell bikes.

Our weather here in Northern Virginia's rather different from yours.
There was one summer a few years ago where every single weekend day all
summer long there was a 45% chance of thunderstorms.  I used a fendered
bike for every one of them, and it never rained once on any of the
rides.

I leave the fenders on year round in Saint Paul.  But I do celebrate the
change from Winter to Spring by pulling the studded tires off the winter
ride.  There is nothing quite like that first ride of spring without studded
tires.  Fortunately this year with our warm March (if it does not snow by
the end of the month it will be the first March in recorded history in the
Twin Cities without snow), I was able to pull off the studded tires pretty
early.

I leave my fenders on my fendered bikes year-round. Not too much rain here
