An´n 26.11.2011 schrev Denis Dujardin:

In Dutch we have "miezeren" for light raining.

I like very much the Dutch word 'miezemuizen' for light rain.

I realised the following words in Low Saxon and Missingsch:

To drizzle in LS: Dribbeln, drieseln, drübbeln, drüppeln, druseln,
drusseln, fieseln, fießeln, fisseln, miesten, misten, musseln, nieseln,
nisseln, smuddeln, snuschen.

To drizzle in Missingsch: Fieseln, pieseln, schuddern, schnuddern.

The drizzle in LS: Druus, Niesel, Nieselregen (same as German), Smuddel,
Smuddelregen, Smudderregen

The drizzle in Missingsch: Fieselregen.

We call the weather in Missingsch 'Schmuddelwetter' and in LS 'dat
schidderige Wedder'.

Best regards

Utz H. Woltmann

Thanks, Utz.

To drizzle in Missingsch: Fieseln, pieseln, schuddern, schnuddern.

The drizzle in Missingsch: Fieselregen.

We call the weather in Missingsch 'Schmuddelwetter' and in LS 'dat
schidderige Wedder'.

That's Bremen Missingsch, right?

In Hamburg Missingsch I'd say:

to drizzle: *schmuddeln*
drizzle: *Schmuddelregen*
drizzly weather: *Schmuddelwedder*
