Default Strange light tonight

Pretty odd down here in Stamford too - I managed to get a picture before
it faded to a dark red. Check the weather page on my site
(www.puffle.co.uk) and scroll to the bottom. Beautiful tones of orange
and purple.


And up here in NE England - some eerie skies at dusk and dawn.

According to weatherman on local TV it's due to ice crystals high in the
atmosphere diffusing the light?
