[Question] Why <scene>element doesn't have 'rain' or 'snow' #476

The title says it all.

I could see fog and cloud element in 'scene' element'. But there is no properties for rainy or snowy environment.

Because it's hard to present(render) an effect on gazebosim(Ogre3D)?

The CitySim project has support for rain on Gazebo classic using Ogre 1.

I think it's probably just because it never became a core Gazebo feature. But if there's desire to support it on a simulator that uses SDF, I think it makes sense to define it alongside fog.
