I don't see why you can't have snow/rain - i was thinking about having some on one of the circuits my game too. At the moment i'm just coding in some walls, but am struggling to animate them effectively bearing in mind i cannot re-scale/re-size anything :S
there are no restrictions on the amount of objects on screen. So if you want weather go for it.
I guess sprite handling is the console's main strength.

So do title screens not have the same 96 x 96 (96 x 192 assuming you use both sprites and background tiles) limit?
From what i interpreted from the rules, you can make one big tile from "imaginary" smaller tiles. To stay within the "all unique tiles must fit inside 96x96 pixels" rule i would have just created smaller (maybe even single-pixel) tiles and just tiled them all together. Clearly i've not done that though and i did use my interpretation of the rules to my advantage in saving me loads of time.
And saving time was my only motivation in using this interpretation, i might add.
