CRAP !!
In meteorology, precipitation is any product of the condensation of
atmospheric water vapor that falls under gravity.... That leaves mist off
the list !
Mist is a cloud of tiny water droplets suspended in the atmosphere at or
near the
earth's surface limiting visibility, but to a lesser extent than fog;
strictly, with visibility remaining above 1.5 miles (1 km).
