I always just think: "How ugly our GF's/wives must be - to compel us to go out in this sh!t". LOL
The tough days make you appreciate the good days more - I say.

I dived at Lake Tahoe during a huge hailstorm. Gearing up was the most dangerous part of the dive. Underwater, it looked like a James Bond film with bullets of hail streaking through the water.
All of my dives at home are now from my boat, so I get landlocked when conditions are bad. The waves were too big to be on the ocean last week, but that didn't stop two others from taking their boat out for some lobster hoop netting. Their boat landed upside down on the beach, and two legs washed up on the beach over the next two days. Knowing when not to go is the hardest lesson to learn.

Although I am older and not diving much, I had a lot of different ways to go diving in various weather conditions when I was younger. Our dive club had access to a flooded sandpit in Hampton, VA, when the charters were unable to run and if the sandpit was being used by a waterski club who ‘owned’ the pit property, we would get in my 20’ deadrise boat and go collecting clams all year and oysters in the cold months to steam on my grill and eat. …where the ‘giant frog in the pool’ saga started…fresh seafood was the motivation…..

I think my big mental block is mostly when I am already cold the thought of doing something that will get me colder is just too much.
