Yup. Clouds are water droplets and if they are thin enough that light can pass through, and the sun is at the right orintation, the droplets can act like prisms, just like in a rainbow, parahelion/sun dog, etc.

Stay off the roads! Both my partner and I have tomorrow off. He's working from home and i have a snow day. I doubt we will see plows till tomorrow night on our street. It's going to be a busy 24 hours for the city's snow clearing crews.

GTA residents urged to 'stay home' during storm, as snow accumulation could reach 60 cm​
