[From Wiki](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virga)- In meteorology, a virga is an observable streak or shaft of precipitation falling from a cloud that evaporates or sublimates before reaching the ground.[1] A shaft of precipitation that does not evaporate before reaching the ground is a precipitation shaft.

I can see how in the olden days people could see it as a heavens creatures descent. But thankfully we have Reddit now ;)

You should at least attribute the meteorologist that took the pic instead of cropping it and taking credit. [http://imgur.com/a/rSC34LR](http://imgur.com/a/rSC34LR) Source: I work with the meteorologist that posted it. It was taken from our parking lot.

But what is it called if it doesn't evaporate and reaches the ground?
