Fogbow

We saw what we think was our first fogbow yesterday morning. We were out walking the cats on the field, and there was a thin tule fog, as there often is after a winter rain. Blue sky overhead, and the sun was rising in the east. The fogbow appeared as a white dome fairly low to the ground, like a rainbow but without any color. The absence of color is because fog droplets are much smaller than raindrops.

  1. I saw a fog bow a long time ago but had no idea it had a special name.
    What a great experience. Thanks for giving it a name

  2. You sure that wasn’t The Mother Ship?
