Dec.10 ~ Although the thermometer was below zero nearly all day yet the fine snow fog whose crystals were so minute that the barely had weight. Enough to sink slowly down, kept the sky obscured all day. Dec.11th. Slight snow flog in the morning. Dec.12~ Thermometer below zero all day. At 1:30 P.M. two bright, redtinted sun dogs were observed, each about 25 degrees to one side of the sun. Instead of being oval they were about 50 yards long and about a yard wide and were standing at right angles to the horizon their lower ends appearing to rest upon the ground three miles distant from the observer. Their greatest intensity of color was in the middle line near the top. No colors but a reddish was seen. Although no mist was evident where I stood yet the landscape was partly obscured behind the "dogs". During the afternoon a brisk wind blowing started the snow to flying and the landscape was obscured The moon being very bright a peculiar phenomenon was observed. Directly below the moon with its base resting on the earth was a hall circle of light like the following figure. [[image]] This light was quite bright
