Purple Haze, all up in the... Sky?

VC Star Reports:

"Navajo County posted a surprising photo to their Facebook on Friday showing a bright purple sky over Snowflake, Arizona.

The landscape, with shades of pink and purple across clouds in the sky and a blanket of white snow on the ground, looks more like a video game than real life. 

The hue is thanks to lights from nearby marijuana farm Copperstate Farms. It was visible for miles, according to the post. 

"The purple glow is a result of UV lights from nearby medical marijuana farm Copperstate Farms and the snow clouds overhead," the post said. 

The area got 1 to 2 inches of snow over Thursday night and Friday morning, according to the National Weather Service in Flagstaff. 

Copperstate employed close to 200 people as of last April, growing marijuana in a large greenhouse that formerly grew tomatoes."
