Hi there,

	I just came back to town from Bedford, and there is a most striking 
ring or halo around the moon tonight.  I know this indicates frost 
crystals high in the atmosphere, and perhaps portends a 
snowstorm.  I've seen them before, but not in so large a circle as 
tonight.  If I hold out my fist at arm's length, and extend my thumb 
as well, that is the radius of the ring.

	It's quite lovely and would make a pleasing photograph.

	Patricia L. Chalmers
