An old familiar weather pattern

A couple of weeks ago we had a relatively rare weather phenomenon for Seattle, although one that I've spent a lot of time with. I call it "Eugene mist"; Rich calls it "a dry rain". It's a very, very light rain, or maybe a heavy fog that moves downward.
Here you can see one of its classic characteristics: although it had been "raining" for hours at this point, it's so light that it hasn't spread beyond the specific horizontal surface it landed on.
