Warm, snowy, beautiful

It looks to be a perfect Thanksgiving weekend. The weather is remaining above 0F/-18C, and we should get a bit more snow. The sun is golden, the landscape is sparkly, and the intermittent clear skies are dancing with atmospheric phenomena that are only common in the arctic, such as sun dogs and sun pillars.

Today's weather report shows this:


Eh? The current weather description is "ice crystals"? Isn't that a bit like saying "foggy" in San Francisco? Or "dry" in Tucson?

I suppose they mean crystal fog (leading to light pillars, etc)...which, although not always present in winter, is really awesome. Thanksgiving was wonderful; hope you are having lots of fun with your visitors!
