Just "stole" this off the web,as curlyben is probably fast asleep:

Sundogs are visible when the sun is near the horizon and on the same horizontal plane as the observer and the ice crystals. As sunlight passes through the ice crystals, it is bent by 22 degrees before reaching our eyes, much like what happens with 22 degree halos. This bending of light results in the formation of a sundog.But you knew that anyway.He he.

Why are they called this? I have no idea.


Damn..he is awake.lol

Do you guys ever see sundogs in the UK? Just curious. I saw some today, as our temperature is around -35 C right now. They're beautiful but it's hard to think of that while you're freezing your a** off!!

I've seen a hot dog.Nice with tomato sauce.Yummie.

I live in the "heart of the Midlands",and we dont get much snow. The last really cold "spell" I remember (just) was December 1995,when we had knee deep snow for a week.Then it thawed.Boo-hiss.Never seen a snow dog though.

Here's a good picture of a sundog in Canada... actually of two. The sun is in the middle. The aurora borealis (northern lights) are much prettier of course! Actually one thing I like about living in northern SK is our skies. They are really awesome.

Comments on this post
aqua@home : I love our skies. When we go on vacation it's so nice to come home and see the sky again. I love the prairies. The only place you can drive in and out of the ditch and not even know it. LOL I'm a flatlander.

Wow that's a long time with no snow! I actually like snow too, but I wish it wouldn't get so cold here! Actually this winter has been very mild (still lots of snow though). Apparently Siberia and other parts of northern Europe are getting the cold weather we were supposed to get.
