Additional notes
| The wispy gray features hanging from
the base of the cloud is
virga, which is precipitation (in this case snow) which
completely evaporates before it hits the ground. See the radar

favored when precipitation falls from high-based clouds into a dry
atmosphere below it. Related NWS Product:
