Ring around the moon tonight. They say that it is a sign of ill weather to come. The forecast is for cold and clear, but that ring is plain evidence of ice clouds up there somewhere. The first quarter looked like a chilly grin in the center of a circle of pearly silver, bound by a border of almost-red like rusty blood. It was the biggest and least iridescent moon ring I have ever seen. Wonder what it bodes for weekend weather.
