I want to describe a situation when streets are shiny because of rain.

Is this correct?

The streets shone with winter rain.

I thought it might be wrong because the rain is not the source of the shining. The lights are.

What other ways are there for describing "shining because of rain"?
 
You could also say the winter rain as it is specific rain.
