When the weather gets treacherous, driving can be nerve-racking. Making it more so would be drivers using their hazards. Use of flashers while driving is illegal and dangerous - since flashers are supposed to indicate a stopped vehicle, imagine heavy rain, poor visibility, and flashers all around; there would be no way to know which car was stopped and which was moving. I realize you want to be seen when visibility is low, but at the expense of causing accidents? Oh, and the fine for driving with your hazards on is about $70!
