Default Re: neither... nor; something

No.

It is neither cold nor wet / It is not either cold or wet [they mean the same] indicate that the weather is not either of these.

"Either" cannot be used to express "but". If you wanted to say it is one but not the other, you would say: It is not cold but it is wet / It is not wet but it is cold.
