Hahah, this is great. Never knew about the general topic of dummy pronouns. Hey, it looks like even linguists don’t all agree. From the wiki: Some linguists such as D. L. Bolinger go even further, claiming that the "weather it" simply refers to a general state of affairs in the context of the utterance. In this case, it would not be a dummy word at all. Possible evidence for this claim includes exchanges such as: "Was it nice (out) yesterday?" "No, it rained." where it is implied to mean "the local weather".
