I captured this amazing “snowbow” just east of Dover, Vermont at 1:35 PM on January 16, 2021. From what I read, snowbows are rare and are actually just rainbows because they are formed from rain, not snow crystals since nature needs a perfectly spherical rain drop to refract the light. Either way a “snowbow” or rainbow while it is snowing is rare and this was the first one I have ever seen.
It occurred just about an hour after the snow stopped. We got around 6 inches of the glorious white stuff and it was the heavy, wet and sticky concrete variety so not ideal for skiing but I was not complaining.
I love how the snowbow framed the skiers further down the hill like they were captured in a snow globe.
