Rainy days and thunderstorms in winter, not something we get in Western Canada, although we have had thunder during a thunder storm once or twice in the last 20 years or so. There are a lot of things to photograph on rainy days. Again, Google is your friend. You could start here - http://www.lightstalking.com/learning-lo...otography/. He has some very good ideas on things to do, photographically speaking. There is always lightning in thunder storms, but you have to be very patient and very quick, or have a "lightning trigger" for your camera.
As far as the "nighttime" photos go, my advice about the tripod, mirror lockup and remote shutter still stand. I do think I know what you mean by the "X" of street lights. Google is your friend. For example, take a look at these sites - http://digital-photography-school.com/in...otography/ and http://www.lightstalking.com/essentials-...otography/. I would pay particular attention to the first post and its thoughts on personal safety at night.
Hope this helps.
