saw this wed morning about 04:30. was really cool. just wondering if anyone else got to see this.

not my pic. but this is one.

Yeah. Seen it a half-dozen times or so - some small, some really big.
My understanding is that it is caused by moonlight reflecting in ice crystals in a cloud.
Nice pic.

thats pretty cool

Very cool...I can't say I've ever seen that before.

Was out in the garden a few nights ago having a smoke when i saw it, kinda trippy

i have seen those but did not know people called them moon dogs.

it is a old belief if you see one of those on a winter night that it is sure to snow soon and however many stars you can see inside of the circle is how many days it will snow for.

Same for rain. Pretty accurate too. Maybe because I'm a country boy but I see them all the time. And it is a fairly accurate gauge of rain to come.

that's kinda cool. I went to bed too early I guess cuz I missed it..

i beleive it is a largely local phenomenon - more to do with conditions in your area than the moon itself. not like an eclipse. seen them several times myself. beautiful pic. thanks.

My grandma thought so too, she called it a "rainy moon" I've seen them before, I didn't know they were called moon dogs either.
