The wind on Thursday was blowing around the snow that fell earlier this week. This snow was lofted into the lower atmosphere and made for a spectacular "sun dogs" display during sunset. The featured web cam image is from the KCRG-TV webcam in Dubuque. This phenomena is caused by refraction of sunlight through ice crystals and is most commonly seen with high altitude cirrus clouds containing ice.
