Weather = bad weather

[W Brewer]

German seems to have same same <weather> ~ <bad weather> thing. My
Cassell's has:  <Ein Wetter zieht sich zusammen> (A storm is gathering), as
well as mostly neutral cites. Within west Indo-European in general,
cognates' weather-meanings range from <neutral, windy, nasty>. pIE *wedhrom.
