The Sun Dogs Of Winter In Winnipeg

If you are moving to Winnipeg from a place that usually has warmer weather you can hear a lot of scary things about the cold. One of the amazing things about Winnipeg is the amount of sunshine that we have, and on those cold days with the sunshine, you also get Sun Dogs.

Sun Dogs is an atmospheric phenomenon that occurs when sunlight refracts through hexagonal ice crystals suspended in high-altitude clouds, creating a prism effect on colder days. They are an absolutely beautiful thing to see as you are going about your day.
