Hello,
I am troubled with changeable "weather" in terms of its combination with a definite article.
1. The weather prevented us from going on a picnic.
2. Weather prevented us from going on a picnic.
3. Bad weather prevented us from going on a picnic.
4. The bad weather prevented us from going on a picnic.
From some corpus, Sentences 1 and 3 seem to be correct. If so, please someone explain the reason why. Is there any possible context where Sentence 4 is acceptable?
Best regards,
Inase
