    It's not a new word though. It has been used to describe rain, snow, sleet, or any falling products of condensation in the atmosphere since the 16th century.

    Where have you been?

    They are using it because they are in the business of weather forecasting.

    Because the weather's gone so sh*te, they can only tell if something is likely to drop out of the sky but not what form it'll take?

    That usage began in the late 17th century.
