I think it was Erik had a model working with the PC-7 for rain. Essentially, rain or snow almost immediately appears to be coming straight at you in 'tunnel' effect the moment that the aircraft begins moving into it. If you slip the aircraft, the centre of the tunnel effect moves toward the direction of slip. Rain specifically also has the effect of an 'upward waterfall' on windscreens which are not actively cleared - spreading towards the outside edges at the top. Another thing is scenery textures for snowfall - I had a go at looking for ways to make the default scenery appear to be covered in snow but I haven't found anything all that convincing yet.
