Virga

So, I was heading home from Quaker Meeting this morning when I looked up in the sky and thought, "hmm, those are interesting clouds." A moment later I realized why they seemed so interesting - they're Virga! I've only seen virga (rain that falls from a cloud but evaporates before hitting the ground) while out west, and can only speculate that it's showing up here, today, because we're having unseasonably warm, dry weather, and it's quite a bit colder at altitude.

There's nothing spectacular about the photo, just the subject...

Enjoy,

Tim!

Another aspect of our inreresting weather this year.

That is cool, Tim..thanks for sharing this with us!

Cool shot. Thanks for sharing this

Thanks for sharing and explaining the phenomenon. You've helped me add to my vocabulary!

Fascinating subject matter; I don't think I've ever seen a cloud quite like this. I'll be on the lookout in the future.
