Residents across the Twin Cities reported seeing the pillars in all directions throughout the evening. Light pillars are formed when ice crystals in the sky refract the light from ground light sources. When enough of the crystals align, pillars of light appear in the sky. According to NASA, the flat, fluttering crystals may form near the ground as a form of light snow. They are sometimes called an ice fog. [ link to wcco.com] |

I saw it and it freaked me out. Thought it was was the northern lights for a minute but then realized they were east of my position and not north as I was in Minneapolis. Mostly white pillars but some reds and pinks. It was trippy. |

I just ran over to the grocery store. There were lots of them off to the east & south. I tried to get my husband to go with me out of the light pollution to see them more clearly but he wasn´t game. He said it was too cold. :) |
