People seem, for the most part, to take sins of commission much more seriously than those of omission, I tend to go the opposite way, finding, for example, not helping someone who's been hurt much more disturbing than hurting someone. Moral reflection focused on what one has failed to do also tends to be a lot more wide ranging and interesting than if one merely evaluates one's actual acts, if failing to do something can be said to not be an act. The distinction is, of course, not really rigorous, any doing of anything being a failure to not do it and so forth.

Snow doesn't seem to be amounting to much, at least it's not raining.
