In Stockholm we had just such a halo display on a very cold day in early January 1996, i.e. about one year ago. For the first time in my life I saw a really good display of the 45-degree halo: apart from the parts below the horizon, the 45-degree halo was complete, without breaks.

Of course lots of other halo components were visible too: 22-deg halo, brilliant sundogs, upper tangeltial arc, circumzenithal arc, counter-sun with a few arcs.

This was a halo display to remember.
