Blokhus, with or without Rain?

So I used some of my time laying sick (thank God we had borrowed a labtop!) to read about how to create naturalistic rain i Photoshop.

It's pretty simple but it take some time. This is how it can be done.
Create a new layer, fill with 50% grey.
Go to Filter -> Noise -> Add Noise. Set noise to 400% (max), click Gaussian and Monochromatic on.
Go to Filter -> Blur -> Gaussain Blur. Set the value to 0.5.
Go to Image -> Adjustments -> Levels. Set the black value high so the noise looks like stars.
Go to Filter -> Blur -> Motion Blur. Set the Angle you want the rain to fall with and raise the pixels in Distance to set the length of the droptrail.
Right click on your rain layer and select Blending Options and set Blend Mode to Screen.
Now you got some rain! Repeat the process and set the various values different to create more layers of rain.

Here are an example, where I have used the method.

Here is a non rain version.
