How to Photograph Weather
Weather Photography is worth checking out for the images alone, but there's also a really nice, and expanding, collection of articles about techniques for photographing weather and nature. There's some good technical weather information as well, on selected topics (the photographer is a atmospheric physics grad student). I love his ice photos, but was most impressed by the lighting photos - reading the technical information behind taking them was very enlightening.

Front lighting is also quite common, but tends to make the subject look flat as its casts almost no visible shadows. Lighting from the side is the less common, as it tends to produce glare near eye level. Backlighting either around or through an object is mainly for accent.
