Being from San Francisco, no. 

Living in San Diego I have buyers reschedule yes. It's hilarious how they freak out about rain here; it's a rare rainy day here. But I never cancel because of rain. I try to tell the client it's a great opportunity to check for leaks.

 For the most part in Washington state if we postponed showings until it stopped raining we would show for only two months a year

Probably not. One of the best times to show a house is when it is raining. As commented by Barbara Todaro, there is no risk of melting.

I am in Florida.  That would be a lot of rescheduling, especially from June through November. Also, it can be raining in an area and a block away might be nothing but sunshine.

Susan Emo - You are lucky to have four seasons down the highway.  We only have two seasons - Winter and Construction season. 

Was that photo taken during the big Ice Storm of 2013 (December 2013)?  Parts of TO had no hydro for 4 days right up to Christmas Eve and some during Christmas Day.

It depends on how hard it's raining. With a light sprinkle, certainly not. If it's really pounding hard (which we recently had) then I do cancel. No on in San Diego slows down in the rain and there are hundreds of accidents on the rainy days.

Only at the buyers request. I've had great showings during rain because it shows up some weaknesses ie. malfunctioning raingutters, standing water, even leaks.

In Colorado rain is usually brief and not too hard so we show anyway. In Houston it rains hard and streets and freeways often flood so I am more likely to reschedule.

I reschedule in ice storms (we're in the south, no one is de-icing the roads) and wait for it to melt.  It happens every 5 for so years for one or two days.

I don't, but sometimes buyers that have to drive in from afar might. Around CT, it gets dicey in our hilly terrain when we have black ice on the narrow country roads.

Showing in the rain sometimes gets a buyer to decide that a house is not for them quicker.  What I mean by that is on more than one occasion, we have discovered issues with a property while there.  Like flooding basement or crawlspaces, issues with the gutter and roof, water drainage in the yard and roadways.  Rain can save a buyer money in the long run.  I always have umbrellas in my car just in case.

No way.  Not unless it's a giant storm or something.  Seeing a home in the rain has it's benefits for buyers.  You can smell damp basements better, roof leaks, etc.
