When we first moved here in August of 1999, one of the first unfamiliar phenomena I witnessed was called a sun dog. It is a rainbow halo around the sun made of ice crystals in cirrus clouds. It’s said to be the harbinger of colder weather coming.
This morning on my way to work I saw the analogous moon dog, though I’m not so sure anymore about the cold weather comin’ legend, since it was 18 below then and only 3 below right now…
