Nov. 6, 2006 - Ring around the Moon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On Saturday, around eleven-thirty, November 5th, 2006, there was a ring around theMoon! I saw it while I was packing up and putting away everything from Anna's BIG Birthday Bash since it had just ended, my nose was rather cold at the tip for the weather was chilly with a almost full moon, and the brightest of stars peeking through the cloudy night sky, when something white caught my eye, I stared at it for a moment, up in the sky there it was, so beautiful, but yet, as cold as ice! At first I could not make it out, but as the clouds moved on I saw it in all its glory! It was a ring around the moon! I quickly ran inside to rechrieve my father to show him the circle, he stepped outside, and with amazement saw it too, just like me! He explained to me that it was a Crystal Cloud ringed around the Moon! See, he told me, (and these were his exact words), that when there was a Crystal Cloud ringed around the Moon that in two to three days temperatures would drop to the lowest degrees in the WHOLE year! He said that you could see it because when the water particules froze up there in the clouds the Moon would reflect off the ice and you would be able to see a thin, white, shining, crystal cloud ring ringed around the Moon! It was quite a breathtaking site that I shall NEVER forget! For who knows how many more years it will take to see a Crystal Cloud ringed around the Moon? know one knows, and I don't think that anybody ever shall.
