The temp outside is hovering around -5 degrees F. and we have seven inches of powdery snow on the ground that a 30 MPH wind is blowing around. As you may know this is a perfect recipe for a Sun Dog, but the next time you see one look strait up into the sky and you might see a Circumzenithal Arc.

I snapped the picture today and the link is a web photo that shows the different types of Halos that you might see around the sun in similar weather conditions.

If you want more info on this kind of stuff there is an old article in Scientific American ISBN 0-7167-1221-0. The specific article is on page p. 38 by David K. Lynch. I am sure there are other (free) sources.
