SEE IT: Sundog spotted in Northeast Ohio sky
CLINTON, Ohio (WJW) — Northeast Ohio's weather conditions were just right early Tuesday morning to create some beautiful displays of light.
The pictures below were captured at about 7 a.m. by Linda Campbell in Clinton. The colored spots of light around the sun are called a sundog.

FOX 8 Meteorologist Dontaé Jones explains sundogs are created by the refraction of light through ice crystals.

'They are caused by ice crystals that are faced horizontally in the atmosphere. So when the sun's rays hit the ice crystals, it bends (refracts) the sunlight,' said Jones. 'The ice crystals are shaped like a hexagon so that helps to bend and twist all the light to produce this beauty.'
At about the same time, on FOX 8 News in the Morning, Todd Meany spotted a rainbow on one of the FOX 8 weather cams. Check it out in the video player above!
