It's often falsely claimed that an Eskimo has 100 words for snow.

But does English have 100 words for rain or general precipitation?

Please add your words for wet weather, and explain what degree of raining it is. For example does heaving it down mean more rain than pouring down? Would you go out and feed the cats if it were chumming it down, or forget it if it were like stair-rods?
