I thought it was Winifred Sanderson's book calling to her?

We call them sun dogs.

Proper sun dogs are around the sun though. Sun pillars like the one pictured are a related but different phenomenon

Either way, I've only ever seen a sun pillar once (far north Norway), and never a sun dog. If you're seeing things like this, I'm envious

I've seen many sun dogs in Yellowknife.

I've seen sun dogs a couple of times driving from work in Bar Hill back to Royston, in late February 2018 or 2019.

There is an Icelandic saying:
A "gíll" is not for good unless a "wolf" runs after. The gíll is the first one the wolf the second one.
Norse legends have them both as wolves

For some reason, this statement is hilarious to me. I have no class. 🤣🙄
