It was -33C when the photo of this sundog was taken in Dawson City. CBC North's meteorologist Bradlyn Oakes says sundogs appear as areas of light at 22 degrees from the sun, either on the left, right or both. They occur due to light refracting in cirrus clouds. They most commonly happen in very cold temperatures. Thanks to Mark Hernandez for this great photo. (Submitted by Mark Hernandez)
