Awesome!
Light pillars are visible when the ice crystals that are drifting down so slowly and smoothly that their flat bases align horizontally, so light can reflect off them like a fog of tiny mirrors. Notice how they even work when the light source isn't visible in a straight line?

Freezing fog. Seen it, lived through it in the mountain west. It reminds me not to go outside in sub zero temps.
