WeatherMatrix (Jesse Ferrell)

PHOTO BLOG: Earlier this month, a storm chaser from the Netherlands took a wonderful photo showing several textbook ice halos, including a 46-degree halo, a 22-degree halo with parhelion (sun dogs), and an upper tangent arc. accuweather.com/en/leisure-rec

@weathermatrix I like to watch the sky and I have never seen such perfect and beautiful ice halos & sun dogs

@weathermatrix I saw one of these for the first time this past weekend in the Chicago area where I live. It was the morning after seeing your post that I saw the ice halo, so I love the serendipity.

@weathermatrix Wow, I've seen a lot of sun dog photos recently with the big Midwestern storm, but this one is amazing. Magical.

@weathermatrix @aeva good evening. Your mission will be to reverse-engineer the phase function based on this picture. Best of luck.

@LilPecan show this to a flat-earther and give them 2 minutes to explain or else... oh, wait... never mind. It has nothing to do with the curve of teh earth, I don't think *sigh*

Carry on.

@weathermatrix hi @Princejvstin this is a photo I think you’d appreciate!

@weathermatrix

I wonder if there exist a high-res version of it?

@weathermatrix This photo blog of dramatic weather shots is amazing! Thanks for sharing it.

@weathermatrix brilliant image description, thank you.
