What's up with the moon tonight?

The moon has a weird white circle around it. Doesn't show up well on photo's, but the circle is at the same height as the clouds. The circle is so big I can't get the whole thing in a photo.

Weird:confused:

It's an atmospheric effect known as a 22 degree halo.

I was always told that it is a good sign that there will be a frost
