In the light of the Sun or Moon, ice crystals can sparkle like many diamonds and cause various optical phenomena, such as pillars of light or a false moon. Such optical phenomena in European mythology always portend bad weather.

Earlier , IA REGNUM reported that in Moscow, the "yellow" level of weather hazard due to icy conditions has been extended.

#3  I live in Winnipeg. These temperatures would not be worth noting here. -39 C is harsh but it happens. -15 C is a nice day. Lows of -23 to -25 happen all the time. I don't even have to plug in my car until it goes down to -26.
