You would think that they simply wouldn't hold festivals in bad weather. This is a simulation of real life, not the real thing so there shouldn't be any threat of an "unexpected" rainstorm (know what I mean?) Just don't have festivals occur when it is going to storm. Period. Or re-design the festivals so that the electronics are covered. One thing that does irk me though is the way the vendors still wear the same short sleeves in a blizzard. Shouldn't somebody have created a cold weather outfit for the poor saps that have to man (or woman) those booths for (probably) minimum wage?
