Default Snow Over Soulliere Villas

In the early morning of Dec 9, 2024 it snowed over the Soulliere Villas (near the First Responders Recreation Center). The snow never touched the ground because it evaporated in the dry air below the clouds. This type of high level precipitation is called virga -- and in this case it is called snow virga. We know it was snow (and not rain) because the temperatures at that altitude were about -50 F.
