Of course! I live in Vancouver, BC so I am fully aware of how frustrating it can be to learn how to ride in the rain.
Also, regarding your question about waterproof gear, the people who said GoreTex were correct, but you should also go out and get a hi-visibility vest to put over your coat (similar to what construction workers wear, like this). Then, go out and spend the money to get very bright front and rear lights.
The cycling dream is to someday get to the point where people only "dress for the destination, not the journey" and can embrace the chic European bicycle style, but being seen is one of the most incredibly important things when you're out there among the 2-ton steel death machines.
Somebody here on /r/bikecommuting used the phrase (and I've stolen it many times), but my goal is to have drivers mistake me for someone who stole a Christmas tree. At least then I know that they see me!

It's generally better to be wearing high vis except when you can't (i.e., only wear blacks during the show), but theatrical culture still tends to lean towards dark colors.
I've often felt there's a market for "dressy" high vis (like button down shirts, ties, etc.) for lighting designers/directors, but I really don't want to get into finding fluorescent colored shirting... =)
I throw one of these over what I am wearing and then I don't have to worry about if the jersey is high-viz. It's a cheap option.
I just wear a construction vest. If it's good enough for them to wear while working in the road it's good enough for me. With headlight/taillight + vest I have had no issues with people seeing or not seeing me.
