Rain drops
      Tue Sep 14 2004 06:32 PM

Hi all. I have what may be a strange question. Why is it that rain drops falling from a tropical system seem to be much smaller than rain drops produced during non-tropical storms? I've noticed the same phenomenon during strong winter storms--the snow flakes tend to be smaller than during minor snow showers.

Thanks.
