Moon Halo

Around 8pm tonight {Thursday}, Denny came in and told me to get on my coat and come outside to see 'something'....so I did.
It was very cold and there was this huge circle around the moon! I have seen quite a few "moon halos" before, but this one was really big, clear and almost irredescent on the edges! {We called it a "moon rainbow"!!} It was beautiful!!!

In folklore, it is said that when there is a halo around the moon that bad weather is surely approaching and if you count the number of stars inside the halo, then that is how many days until the bad weather begins.
Well, there is a major snowstorm predicted for late Saturday night so we'll see if this theory is correct!
