Extremely rare atmospheric phenomenon called rainbow bridge or circumhorizontal arc when the sun is at least 58º above horizon and ice crystals in clouds form rainbows.
People share mesmerising pictures of patterns created by snow overnight | Daily Mail Online. One person from the US shared how snowflakes had become icy around this bright red stop sign.
Does anyone out there also have a bit of a thing for “strange weather phenomenons” like these?!
Funny that they saw this outside of Munich while

was there.
I'm not connecting this. No, no. No. Never. Would be weird. I'm really not connecting it.
I know what light columns are. I learned how to create them and put them somewhere. But I am not strong enough to make them visible. That was part of my energy work course that I did. Idk if you can believe me. You don't have to. Another good one is this:
On March 6, 1952, during a thunderstorm, postal worker Walter Bager watched as a bolt of lightning struck a power pole, became a ball of lightning, and jumped to the ground. Before vanishing, the ball lightning hit a parked bicycle, shooting it several feet up into the air. Lightning then landed on the top of the postman's umbrella, knocking it from his hands. This incident took place in one of the two towns in Santa Clara County, California, where fireballs were recorded dancing along power lines and in and out of houses. The two towns were thirty miles apart.
In 1919, according to a Monthly Weather Review story, a "ball of fire as large as a washtub was floating low in the air" at a busy downtown intersection in Salina, Kansas. Upon exploding, it created a "bang that resembled the noise made by the discharge of a large pistol, filling the air with balls of fire as large as baseballs, which floated away in all directions. Some of the balls followed trolley and electric light wires in a snaky sort of manner and some simply floated off through the air independently of any objects near by. An electric switch box across the street was ripped open and a transformer destroyed, leaving the east side of the town in darkness."
In 1915, in Columbia, Missouri, during a thunderstorm, a man standing by a window in his house heard a sound like a shotgun blast. Soon after, his telephone clicked, and a small "bubble-like sphere of light" emerged from the mouthpiece and drifted toward him. It rolled around the windowsill and then disappeared.

A waterspout is an intense columnar vortex that forms over a body of water. Most waterspouts do not suck water; they are small and weak rotating columns of air above the water. Although they are usually weaker than their counterparts on land, there are also stronger versions caused by mesocyclones.

Waterspouts form mainly in tropical and subtropical areas, but they are also observed in other regions such as Europe, West Asia (Middle East), Australia, New Zealand, the Great Lakes, Antarctica and, in rare cases, the Great Salt Lake. There are also some on the east coast of the United States and the coast of California. Although rare, waterspouts have also been observed in conjunction with snowfalls triggered by the lake effect.
A "crown flash" is a rare visual phenomenon at the tops of storm clouds. It's thought to be caused by suspended ice crystals becoming aligned with the lines of an electromagnetic field. As the field moves around, it spins the crystals like tiny compass needles. When the angle of the sun and the observer are just right, this can create "sundog"-style refractions that leap around with startling speed. This is definitely the best video I've found of them so far: buh-ZAH!
