Sundog !!!!! or Parhelion, is a bright colorfull spot of light appearing in the sky to the left or the right , or both sides of the Sun formed by sunlight refracting through hexagonal ice crystals in high altitude clouds. It may be -40 today but this phenomenon up here in the Yukon warms mine and most other Yukoner’s hearts.
