}    I wonder how we use the verbs which indicates the 
}nature phenomenon. I mean, we say: It's raining or
}it's snowing, it's storming. But how can we say it 
}in klingon? Who is the subject and object?

Short answer: 

We don't know.

Medium answer: 

I currently prefer the indefinite subject.  There is no clear subject or object.
SISlu' - it's raining  
peDlu' - it's snowing

{jev} I believe refers to storm, as in to storm an enemy position, not a
nature phenomenon.

The long answer is the thread of arguments and conflicting advice that this
post will engender.
