Is bad weather driving people away from Astronomy?

The east coast of Australia, from north Queensland right down the coast has been subjected to what seems to be continuing cloud, rain, storms, east coast lows, cyclones (in QLd) and generally miserable weather for what seems like the last year. There seems to be a decline in the attendance at various Star Parties, and dark site trips.

What effect is this having on amateur astronomy? Have your changed your observation and/or imaging time as a result of the weather? Have you packed it all away until things improve? Is this the future, and a legacy of climate change affecting what we can do?
