the constant rain

is the weather messing up your homesteading/ farming? It is ours. I am so sick of it! Rain almost every day, and when its not raining , it's snowing. And when it's not snowing, we have 50 mph wind! Seriously, we had 2 dry days in the last 3 months I think.
This is the second year of this, first year we lived here was "normal" whatever that means.
Is it raining all the time where anyone else lives? We left Florida because it was just too hot ( and rain every day in summer) , now we live in Virginia, and it rains all the time. Really starting to think we moved to the wrong place. I love everything else here besides the weather, so that's hard.

Problems: mud everywhere, goats don't go out in the rain ( they would have to be starving ,and there isn't much growing in the pasture, so we are always running out of hay. No hay to be found, since everyone around here has moldy , bad second cutting hay from all the rain last year. Now they have mites from being in the barn all the time. Indoor dogs track in mud, dirty house all the time, no matter what I do. Fungus on all the fruit trees, some vegetables rotted last year from all the rain. Hoof rot. Mold on wood. No time to dry out firewood. Can't get anything done outside ( like plow the garden up) , just too wet and muddy. How do you deal with this?
I feel so bad for some of our neighbors who have lost livestock to flooding, animals being born in the bad weather and not surviving and some looking very thin because people are running out of hay. It sucks.

Ok, done with my rant. Just wondering if anyone in other areas is dealing with this, or if we just live in the "black hole of rain" around here
