Bare in mind that parts of the UK get 4x the amount of rain presuming this is right for Ontario"The annual rainfall is 424 mm" 

 

Our logs would rot in no time if stored outside and uncovered . We have had 400mm since Christmas

That is interesting, I never realised that wood splits better when its colder.

wood splits better in the winter (when its freezing of course), because it gets brittle, just like how plastic will crack in the cold easier, due to shrinkage

 

That's a lot of rain you get there woodworks! Rain is proven to be psychologically depressing. It's more of a factor in one's life if you have to work outside trying to dodge it
