Could be. I think it's basically the same phenomenon as a sun dog.

(Reading up on it now. Very interesting!)

Yeah, I think they are related. Apparently, light does all sorts of interesting things when it encounters ice crystals in the atmosphere.

Minus-40 windchill here - Environment Canada has actually issued a weather warning that includes pets. You really can't do anything outside in this weather.

And even with the heat on, I can't seem to get the house above 15 celsius. I've got an electric blow-heater on, and Sam has wisely plopped himself directly in front of it. He's the warmest guy in the house.

We're entering the part of the year where it snows more often than it doesn't. Or at least, in most years we would be. This year that started in November. There are already plow mountains taller than I am at work; if there isn't a significant thaw before March, we're going to run out of space to fit it all, not to mention flooding issues when it finally does melt.

I'm not going to tell you about our weather, but you should all come for a visit. :grouphug:

Jude, sounds like a two-dog night. Good thing you've got two dogs. =:)

It's been snowing and blowing all day here, and it's very cold. It's quite pretty, but I don't want to go out in it.

I think we have at least 6 inches, possibly more, and it's about 12F (feels like -4F). Brr! But Jude has us beat!!! :Q

Stay safe in your winter wonderlands!
Here was 38° today, and it's going to be over 40° tomorrow, and it's not cooling dowm much tonight despite the thunderstorm.

Here, it's very windy and very wet, but nothing silly. Yesterday (Sunday) a blizzard in Michigan cancelled the US premiere of one of my pieces though. :rage:

It's -22C here. We didn't get much snow or ice (thankful for the no ice thing), but it is very cold. (That temperature doesn't take into account the windchill. Last I heard it felt like nearly -40C.)

Obviously we got nothing compared to much of the rest of you but the cold air has reached all the way down here and we'll be getting close to freezing temps. We Floridians do not like freezing temps.

3 miles se of Benton Harbor, Berrien County.

Snow m6.5 inch, reported by trained spotter.


Snowfall since 11 PM Sunday night... 3 day event total
snowfall 27.0 inches... current snow depth 20 inches
This is a picture I took in the middle of February last year:

We already have quite a bit more than that this year, and it's only the beginning of January. Luckily, it looks like it's going to get above freezing and stay there for almost 48 hours this weekend, so hopefully a lot of it will melt.

Cool! We have about 6 inches on the ground; it's not much.

yovi, that would be hard for you guys to handle. Do you have heat in your house?

We do have heat so it's not really a big deal for me asides from just really disliking it. But it can be a legit big deal here for two reasons

- freezing temps tend to kill off a bunch of citrus crops
- more emotionally, a lot of lower income people here don't have the kind of clothing to deal with sub-40 weather; this is a particular concern for children who will sometimes have to wait at a bus stop in 30F weather with little more than a light jacket. It can be a real problem though I've heard there are some charities that help.

Those are legitimate problems. :(

Here are some scary pics:

Oh, and Mega-storm Hercules has made it across the Atlantic and is wreaking havoc in Wales and the rest of the UK. (So I guess that answers our earlier discussion about whether or not our North American weather can cross the Atlantic.)
