When it snows , it snows ... The sun comes out . The fog goes away,. But it shall be back.
there's violet you see. There's an arc in a rainbow.
A rainbow is an optical and meteorological phenomenon that causes a spectrum of light to appear in the sky when the Sun shines onto droplets of moisture in the Earth's atmosphere. They take the form of a multicoloured arc, with red on the outer part of the arch and violet on the inner section of the arch.

Rainbows can be observed whenever there are water drops in the air and sunlight shining from behind a person at a low altitude angle (on the ground). The most spectacular rainbow displays happen when half of the sky is still dark with draining clouds and the observer is at a spot with clear sky in the direction of the Sun. The result is a luminous rainbow that contrasts with the darkened background.

Light and water create rainbows. However, to see a rainbow, it must be raining (or snowing) in one part of the sky, the sun shining from the opposite part, and you must have your back to the sun. Then raindrops, like tiny prisms, scatter the white sunlight into brilliant colors--red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet--and make a rainbow.

Look at the mountains covered in snow with the rainbow ...

I want to see one!!:)


Next time it snows when the sun is out, I'll try to remember.  It's not called a snow-bow, don't recall what it's called...

Actually, there is a "snow-bow" it's super cool to see, it's like a crystalized rainbow.  Happens all the time out here when it snows because the sun's out some of the time...  It's rather spectacular.  If I get the chance, I'll snap a photo from my phone next time I see one...

Since we've been seeing a lot of snow fall here while the sun shines, I've been wondering the same thing myself.  Hmmmmm.
