I was alerted to this phenomenon through my daughter who now lives in Canada. She described how ice crystals like dust fell from the sky and then a "sun dog" appeared. It was the first time she had seen one and was truly amazed. For those who don't know about sun dogs ( and I didn't) have a look at this link. I feel sure the photos don't do full justice to what must be a spectacular sight. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_dogNature can be pretty amazing sometimes. May I wish all posters a very merry Christmas. P PS: I should point out that the Wiki link talks about them being described in various writings from Shakespeare to the Wars of the Roses, but I don't believe I have ever seen the effect.
