Blame it on the weather man!!

Thats right!

Decided to purchase a new camera the Canon 1200 however since I have bought it at the weekend the weather has not been so kind.

It's been a terrible downpour of rain and tonight it's snow ... Heavy! Desperate to get out with the camera so it's back to the drawing board and to find protective equipment so that I can get out mostly any weather!!
Any recommendations on places or equipment to go for or buy would be greatly appreciated I'm a newbie and well got to keep the equipment good!!
