weather rain fog snow

Precipitation and atmospheric visibility weather: rain, snow, fog, ice, glare, and how meteorological conditions reduce sight distance, visibility, and crash risk. This covers the weather event in the air and its visibility consequences, NOT the resulting grip of the pavement under those conditions — wet/icy traction belongs to road_surface_friction.
