Default antennas and rain

I think I read in this newsgroup that a ham in the PNW waxed his dipole
to keep the rain off. I couldn't tell whether it was just a joke?

In an area notorious for lots of rain, do hams in the Northwest really
wax their antennas?

Even when waxed, what is the effect of rain/water on dipole
chararacteristics?
