Rare winter phenomenon appears above Ontario skies during extreme cold Ontario Winter
During extreme cold snaps, this atmospheric optical phenomenon forms vertical beams of light that travel up from their sources and reflect through ice crystals suspended in the ultra-cold air.
On cold and calm nights, these tiny floating ice crystals act as miniature hexagonal-shaped mirrors concentrated in the millions, which reflect light upwards to form searchlight-like beams that project high into the sky. Light pillars were spotted around Ontario over the weekend, including several reports out of Ingersoll, where temperatures plummeted to the minus double digits.
