I mean I know its the joke, but we have gotten better at dealing with the cold and the snow, its just this area is not built for snow and ice and until recently we didn't get it that often. Just like extreme heat which has also been hitting more often than it used to for some weird reason inexplicably not man made oh no...

Also it's not just the Eloi.

It's the hills. And the times we get snow often being snow at 34 degrees which means it lands, melts, and then shortly thereafter freezes into ice

on the hills.

The acclaimed nature documentary Sleepless in Seattle proves that it only rains when appropriate for the narrative.

Drivers that can't handle rain are people from california naturally. But most people in Western Washington can handle rain.
