Rings around the Moon

Have you ever looked at the moon and seen a ring around it. Last night I noticed a huge ring around the moon.

When I talked to a couple of people I was told that the ring is formed from ice crystals in the air. After enquiring what "that meant", they told me it means it is going to snow.

I went to bed last night thinking how nice it would be if it snowed tomorrow. When I woke up this morning it was snowing!

Check out the snow on our webcam. It updates every 20 minutes automatically.
