Suspended Snow at the Sunset, Except for a "Rainy Circle" on the Stretch of Sea Overlooking Trieste Waterfront, Where the Most Consistent Snowy Virga Meet Mild and Humid Air, Which, by Limiting Sublimation, Managed to Touch the Ground in Light Rain Form
18-march-2021: Trieste Gulf, FVG, Italia.
The snow Virga, descending, on the whole shot, from the cloud above, in random order, tormented, curled, weakened, up to about 500m of altitude, sublimates for the whole path and totally at that altitude.
The central one, on the contrary, more dense and lower, manages to sublimate only partly, while the other part liquefies in rain (which has a completely different density, clearly highlighting the passage in which the water lets the sunlight pass almost completely), however weakened by the continuation of factors (attenuated by Sea humidity!) that led to sublimation in the form, now, of evaporation, but the space between the entrainment of the large virga (which appears as an elongation of the cloud, but is not) and the sea surface is too short, thanks also to the absence of winds and, in fact, to a greater humidity in the air.
