Offenbar eine Nebensonne heute morgen kurz vor Sonnenaufgang

I know sundogs aren't rare but this one was so bright and distinct that I had to get a picture. The sky was wild today before the storm or maybe leading up to Armageddon, I don't know which, but there was a big sun halo this morning and not long after I took this picture the sundog disappeared and there was a partial rainbow arc above the sun.
Along with the sundog I think we're also looking at a small fallstreak cloud here. #AtmosphericPhenomena #sundog #parhelion #sky #weather #pennsylvania

A friend in central MN sent me these photos a couple hours ago. Outside temp was -10˚F. He was hoping for the full circle to appear, but instead they all faded.

Atmospheric Optics Photo #5: Parhelion. A bright parhelion (plural parhelia) is sometimes called a mock sun or sun dog. It's another atmospheric optic effect from the refraction of ice crystals appearing on one or both sides of the Sun at or near the 22° halo.
