...And Sue, have you seen this strange phenomenon in the Yukon?
Not often. Mostly just the white sparkles.
During some darkness hours, the air also twinkles, not with snowflakes but with ice crystals in the air. Most noticeable in the car's headlight beam. It becomes real interesting when driving the highway and seeing a pillar of light ahead, rising hundreds of feet upward, but it's only the crystals in the air highlighted by the highbeams of an oncoming car.
Then there's ice fog...here's a sunrise on the Alaska Highway
