I'm curious -- how many times have we actually seen live precipitation (rain, snow) on Trek? I can think of only one real example: "Ex Post Facto," where the rain was mainly to set the mood, a la "It was a dark and stormy night..."
Hey -- It's been a while since I saw that episode, but IIRC Paris was soaked to the skin by the rain -- I guess those Starfleet uniforms don't do much good after all.
There was also the snowstorms kicked up by an asteroid's impact in TNG's "A Matter of Time," but that was all visual effects, we didn't see the actors running around in the snow.
One more: the rainstorms on Risa in "Let He Who Is Without Sin..."
Are there any other examples?

What about the premiere episode of Enterprise - "Broken Bow"? Wasn't it snowing when Archer, T'Pol and gang were pinned down by the Suliban? Or was that just ash and dirt that was being swirled around by the Shuttlepod's exhaust?
