Good Sundog Days

With plenty of opportunities for sundogs because of the abnormally cold winter of 2013-2014, this parhelia presented itself Thursday morning, January 23, 2014. Ground air temperature was a frigid
-10 F degrees F and the sky crystal clear. This image, shot at 8:18 AM CST, looks southeast from Progress Drive near Martha's Way in Hiawatha, Iowa. A hoped-for repeat of the spectacle before sundown on this day did not materialize.
