My biggest difficulty is that I am a graduate student and also have a part-time office job, so I can't just leave clothes at work. I am going to do that once I have a more stable routine and am not carrying things all day. I do check the weather daily and traffic cams for snow conditions in the winter.

Add some water resistant pants and a jacket and you'll be all set. No more worrying about the weather.

There's no way to be prepared on a bike for lightning :( I don’t mind the rain, but these Colorado thunderstorms we have this time of year are no fun to get caught out in.

I originally tried waterproofing using jacket, pants, shoes but found I would get soaked from sweat instead of rain. Much easier to just have a set of waterproof panniers with a change of clothes and a ziplock freezer bag for your wet stuff. You can also just use a regular plastic grocery bag for it. If you use bike shorts, a sweat wicking shirt, and water sneakers to commute this stuff will not hold water and will only be moist when you store them. You can even dry them in the office but I find it easy to carry another bike short and shirt in the pannier. Now the reason for the website link is I find the weather undergrounds wundermap indispensible for my commute. With it you can estimate when the next storm will hit and how much time you have to get to your next sheltered spot or wait for it to pass. Also besides the waterproof panniers I found the RAM Aquabox for holding my cellphone on the handlebars which allows me to keep the gps program display or weather map in view as I ride without having to worry about water damage. http://www.wunderground.com/wundermap/?lat=26.12114716&lon=-80.12917328&zoom=10&pin=Fort%20Lauderdale%2c%20FL In Florida rain is just part of everyday life.
