A view from your front door

[Iowatech]

Excellent photo, nice clarity... I've never seen snow except when I defrost my freezer.
I give up what is a sun dog ? Is it ice crystals reflexed in the atmosphere?

We see prismic coloured golden halos here around the sun. Truly a majestic seen with magificant colours. I'm informed by our weather beuro that these coloured halo's are formed from ice crystals high up in the atomosphere. I could never figure that out during a clear day in the middle of summer heat wave.

Sun dogs like these are caused by the sun shining through snow being carried by energetic winds. They are called sun dogs because they appear to follow the sun around.
Lagonda is right, though, the weather is somewhat unpleasantly cold and windy at ground level when sun dogs appear in the winter around here.

The dogs all got excited tonight, we had guests in the front yard.

Cool picture brewster. Moose in the front yard. I get deer all the time and sometimes coyotes, Bobcats and pumas. No moose as of yet.

Oooh... SouthEast Qld. might be in for a cold snap by the look of those clouds.

It did, the tempreture plummeted so low I had to put some long pants on.

We sent those to you when we were done with them yesterday.

Got this from outside my back door after a rather energetic thunderstorm passed through the area today. Hope that counts.
