Sun Halo

Very cold, and lots of ice crystals in the air formed this nice Halo around the sun this afternoon.

Oooooh.... love that second one. Thanks for sharing, HBG.

WOW. That is really cool. I love it.

that's quite cool- shot 2 for me as well

very cool. Doesn't that mean that bad weather is coming?

Very nice, no. 2 for me as well

Thanks all, and yes the Sun-dogs usually mean that you will get some type of moisture within 48 hrs.

Those are very cool! I love the second photo, but I am a prairie girl so that bit of flat ground reminds me of the prairie.

HBGirl, when I was in Edmonton at Christmas, we saw some of the best sundogs I have ever seen. A complete halo just as yours are but with small "suns" on each side. A very cool sight.

Sun Dogs in the afternoon and halos around the moon aren't uncommon here, but the snow sure as hell is. I ask myself sometimes if you guys complain about it as much about the cold of your winters as we complain about the heat of our summers.

Wonderful shots. Get'em while its there, and show as many as possible.
