Best line from one of the Lonesome Dove movies says it best.
While riding through a cold rain, one of the characters complains how nasty the weather is.
The other says, "It's just weather."

At one event it rained so hard, our holsters were overflowing.
We continued to the bitter end.
It's just water.
And mud up to our ankles.

At another event, it was snowing so hard, we could hardly see the targets from just a few yards away.
We continued to the bitter end.
It's just weather.

At another one, a heat wave came out of nowhere.
It was well over 100, no cloud cover, and no shade.
It was just weather, no one quit.
We panted a lot, though.

Real shooters never quit.
