sun dogs (Milton)

As Cam and I laboured west on the packed freeway, still in the Milton area, bound for Port Elgin, I noticed in the high cirrus clouds, a bright point. Hey, a sun dog!

For the next hour, I watched the cold clouds change and shift and in turn produce different effects.

Dual sun dogs (parhelia) appeared on several occasions. Sometimes just one. At times, they were colourful, prismatic; other instances just bright white. Halo arcs and tails could be seen at times.

I estimated they were more than 15° away from the Sun.

The air temperature sensor in Cam's car side it was 20°C.
