Sundog

Just when you thought it was safe to come out (after all, the snow had pretty much melted, and it was 8C!), winter comes and plays a cruel joke. We get a huge dump of snow, with whiteout conditions. Stories of 30-car pile-ups on the interstate. It took us 80 minutes to drive 12 miles home.

But, if there is one thing to enjoy out of this, this was the view from my office the next morning:

Sun dogs.

No, not an actual dog. But that bright, rainbow colored ring around the sun. Diffraction of the sunlight into its spectral components by the ice crystals in the air. Or something like that.

See, winter isn't all bad.
