Question
In the Mishnah Berurah (in note 32), it is brought in the name of Chayei Adam that water dripping from trees in the days of Nissan is forbidden due to Nolad. And see there (and in Chayei Adam it seems to deal with fog or special moisture that condenses into dew). It is puzzling why this is different from rainwater (which is permitted in Eruvin 46a). Also, why is it different from steam rising from food in a pot and collecting as water on the pot's lid and dripping into the pot, from which we eat on Shabbat. And it cannot be said (as I heard) that there it was originally water and now water, as clouds also apparently form in a similar process.
