Being outside when it is snowing is fine (unless it's a blizzard or something and there is also strong winds). Sure, you have to shovel it if there's a lot, but oh well... small price to pay...
I find rain to be relaxing. Sure it gets everything wet, but so does snow, in a way. I don't think rain is dreary at all. I love watching thunderstorms. However, I think a landscape blanketed in an endless white sheet of snow...that is dreary.

Oh, come on, stop getting all technical on me. Snow falls, it hits the roads, people drive over it, it melts and gets smashed down and becomes ice. The two are interchangeable in my mind.
What's so bad about driving in the rain? That's what windshield wipers are for. It also don't make the road nearly as perilous as snow (AND ICE) can. Sure, some large puddles can cause hydroplaning if you aren't careful, but other than that, you'd have to be a pretty poor driver to let a little rain seriously impede your driving.
