SUN DOGS, You Really Don't Want To See Them.
These are "Sun Dogs" and you really don't want to see them (in person). What you have here is two pictures with a "sun Dog" on each side of the sun. If I had a panoramic camera we could eliminate one of the suns in the middle. The Sun Dogs almost form a rainbow around the sun.
The key to Sun Dogs is that it needs to be below 0 degrees outside or colder. The colder it is outside the more spectacular the Sun Dogs. When I woke up today it was 8 below zero (that's 40 degrees below freezing) actual air temperature. Then there is this thing called "Wind Chill". The weather service is warning that it will be windy today causing a wind chill of up to 45 degrees below zero.
What do we do when it's 45 degrees below zero? You make sure you have several layers of clothing on and you go out there and attend to business just like any other day. Obviously those who work out of doors need to come in frequently to avoid frostbite. On a day like today a person who is not properly dress may experience hypothermia within a few short minutes.
