But it's not sticking.

So I guess those Martian kids still have school.

I've seen examples of virga in NM, but it never occurred to me that it could start as snow or could be found on other planets.

Wow - learn something new every day.
I've seen Nimbostratus Virga and didn't even know it, thank you.

From UT's link:

Quote:

Mars is essentially in the same orbit... Mars is somewhat the same distance from the Sun, which is very important. We have seen pictures where there are canals, we believe, and water. If there is water, that means there is oxygen. If oxygen, that means we can breathe.
