Henry:

I snapped this at 8 am this morning, was going up Woodard Road.
The rainbow was probably caused by mist coming off the Lamoille River.

Merry Christmas,
Joe

I saw both parts of it on my way home from the gym.  It was beautiful, indeed!

Never heard of a rainbow when it is below zero - Wonder if Sharon Meyer will have something to say about it tonight?

BELOW ZERO "rainbows" are called Sun Dogs, at least up here. Alaska.

SUN DOGS.

http://www.goldengatephoto.com/earthsky/rainbow.html (http://www.goldengatephoto.com/earthsky/rainbow.html) for a snowbow photo.  (Spell check is not recognizing snowbow as a word, but I think a snowbow is another word for a Sun Dog.) 

Here's a link to a UNC photo of a snowbow.  http://www.learnnc.org/lp/multimedia/7700 (http://www.learnnc.org/lp/multimedia/7700)

And here's a (not very serious) definition I found in an online urban dictionary:

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=snowbow (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=snowbow)

"Dude, it's a snowbow...."

(you do frequently see Sun Dogs at ski resorts)

Well, I'm kind of glad Joe told me it was a Rainbow, because if he hadn't this poor old uneducated Old Vermonter would have been searching all over that field for a "Dog"
