It's a tossup for me.

Two years ago I tried to outrun a pretty thick snow on my way back from Ithaca. I had to stop for gas in Mansfield and it caught up with me. I didn't have to spend much time riding in it though, because I was going down in elevation and it eventually turned to rain. But the 20 minutes or so I spent wiping flakes from my visor was pretty cool.

Last summer I was on my way to work and started getting a few drops on the visor. No big deal, I have no problem riding in the rain. But less than a minute later I ran into a wall of water and couldn't see a hundred feet in front of me. Wind was blowing so much and the rain was coming down so hard that I finally pulled off at an overpass and tried to shelter myself, which really didn't work out with the wind blowing as hard as it was. I was soaked head to toe, it came on way too quick for me to pull over and put on my raingear.

Got into work and found out a tornado had touched down about 3 miles away right around the time I pulled off the road. So now I tell people I rode through a tornado... kind of.
