Hey! That's a great example of a sun pillar, caused by an abundance of hexagonal plate-shaped ice crystals in the lower atmosphere (in this case), reflecting the sun's light off their bottom faces like mirrors.

Smoke from a grassfire blows across a prairie road during high winds

Smoke from a grassfire blows across a prairie road during high winds

As soon as the snow melts, it's fire season. Days with strong, dry, westerly winds like today in Alberta are prime for the rapid spreading of grassfires.

Be careful out there!

[Update: I am slightly amending original thread for accuracy, which is important amid chaos. There are some conflicting reports, though I have personally heard from many people in roles below who were fired in the last 24 hours (and many more were told "they're on the list").]
