UI Icon Critique

Hey everybody, looking for some feedback on my icons. Basically I just want to know how easy it is for you to determine what each icon represents. Thanks for your input everyone! Oh, for the last icon try to figure it out under the assumption the temp is 32F (0C) or below.

Partly sunny day, partly cloudy night, sunny, clear night, cloudy, rainy snow, windy, haze, hail

The last one did take a bit more thought. I wondered if it was water droplets or something. Maybe that one could be expanded a bit. Otherwise, pretty straightforward. Nice work.

Generally easy for me: Some cloud (day), some cloud (night), Sunny, Clear (night), Cloudy, Rainy, Snowing (although I thought maybe leaves at first), Windy, cat hair on a blanket!?, Hail. The second to last one could be fog or some cloud. If fog I'd expect just several flat lines to indicate that although I'm sure different cultures would be used to slightly different things. I live in New Zealand. Mostly looking great!

Thanks guys! I'm glad it was fairly easy for you. That's what I was hoping for. I lol'ed at the cat hair on a blanket. I knew that one would be tough. I'm thinking fog should be easier to represent using opacity on the computer than it is to create with a pencil and paper.

I'll do some work on the last two. Thanks again guys!
