Same here; the view is magnificent, particularly approaching a major
city at night which looks like you are flying over a galaxy.
The exception
is when the cloud cover is so dense you just can't see *anything*. In LEO,
the earth goes by fast enough that excessive cloud cover shouldn't be a
problem for more than several minutes.
You might run into a problem with getting dizzy if you try to use
binoculars to watch things pass on the ground due to the perceived
speed of movement, somewhat like you get by scrolling microfilm past a
viewer at high speed.
