Just watch for things that sound fluffy, like weather control, kenesis spells, werewolves, vampires, anything that sounds like its from hollywood or fantasy

There are many reasons why a spell may not work. You might want to start with the thread by Weatherwax on 'Trouble-shooting spells" at http://www.spellsofmagic.com/read_post.html?post=846276

Or, if you are brand new to magic I would also suggest starting out with the information http://www.spellsofmagic.com/read_post.html?post=851233

As has already been mentioned, most people believe weather control to be out of our control, it is too big a system to change.

Also, the article posted is really useful for identifying the reasons spells don't work, the biggest of which is often that you haven't studied enough for them to work. Following the instructions isn't enough, you need to understand basic practices, understand the energies that you are working with before spells will work successfully.

Along with lack of knowledge a spell may not work because it cannot work, such as teleportation spells, or instant money spells, they simply aren't possible.

Other than that a spell may not work because it isn't meant to work, it may not be the right time or you haven't given it enough time to work. Spells aren't instant, they can take days, weeks, months, sometimes even years for the effects to manifest, so your spells may have worked, you just haven't seen the effects of said spells, yet.

So how much study and practice have you put into learning how spells work and mastering the necessary skills?

I have put a lot of time ( about 2-3 hours ) into it.

In all honesty, 2-3 hours is not a long time at all to be mastering the skills that go on behind the scenes in a spell, especially considering many people take weeks, months and sometimes longer to study before they even consider attempting spells,rituals or magickal workings.

Which is likely the reason why they aren't working out for you.

Pardon me, but I laughed. 2-3 hours is nowhere near enough study to successfully practice magic. I've been practicing for 35 years and even so on occasion a spell does not work for me or works in a way I didn't anticipate. Please understand that you will need to put in more than a couple of hours to expect spells to work for you. It is going to take serious study if you want to be good at magic.

And while luck spells might work, spells to control the weather or to make the weather do something it isn't apt to do, such as snowing in the tropics, are never going to work no matter how much effort you put into them.

You should meditate and improve your ability to channel energy and work with astral forces. Performing a series of steps won't do anything unless you also remember to actually channel your magic.
You could also have a look at the trouble shooting your spells post: some very useful info there.
One last point, remember that you're only limited by your mind.
