Erin McAllister photographed a Moon Halo several weeks ago, just before some serious rain arrived.

The circle around the moon is caused by ice crystals. Moon Halos, like Sun Halos, often predict rain.

Thanks to Erin for allowing me to share her photo with you here.

Today was sunny with some drifting clouds, very chilly overnight. The sun was setting as I was writing this post, so I went out and got these two photos for you to see.
