The skylight does what it's supposed to do: it has light, protects from bad weather, and can be ventilated if necessary.
Whether the window itself clears because of the slope of the roof, I don't think about that. If it's open, rain can get in any window.
My childhood experiences: great looking at the stars, and when it rains, you hear special pounding sounds reminiscent of camping vacations.
My parents kept them, these windows from 1978: the wood in front of them is stained with water, because we had to use those windows as a full-fledged vent at the time. I think now, after more than 30 years, it's the carpenter's turn.
