I've seen it so cold the sun had in icicle halo around it... Anybody remember the actual name for this phenomenon


Those are sundogs. I grew up spending much time on a sailboat, and my dad always said "A dog in the morning, sailor take warning; a dog in the night is a sailor's delight." High haze condenses and forms ice crystals, which are refracted forming a halo around the sun.

EDIT Hmm, I just looked it up and one source says the halos are actually called "parihelic circles" and the sundogs are smaller "dots" which occur just outside of the ring. Learn something new everyday
