A multi c0lored sund0g, the most baAntiful seen in this section of the universe within the memory of living man. appeared Monday morning. and many telephone calls were sent in from house to house to step out and see the beautiful rainbow! The light of the sun shining through a delicate layer of mist produced a magnificent optical phenomenon, or it was the result from the reflection or refracti0n of light by innufnerable crystals of ice or simple snowfiakes. These crystals, settling down very slowly through the still air, were sufficiently numerous to reflect enough sunlight to produce the gorgeous effects.

Guess I'll take. another sQuint at the sundog. It sure is beauty
