Virga

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (click on the pictures and they will enlarge)


Sometimes out here in the desert the air is so dry that rain evaporates before it reaches the ground. This is called virga.

I have flown small airplanes through this rain while down on the ground it was a perfectly dry day. Automatic airplane washer.
