Hello Laurence,
Indeed it works! The Dutch saying is:
“Kring om de zon,
regen in de ton.”
Literally translated:
“circle round the sun,
rain in the barrel”,
but that doesn’t rhyme and also applies to the moon.
Best wishes too.
Hans
Hello Hans
Thanks for your reply. Much appreciated.
You may like to know that here in the UK we have an expression, which is:-
“Halo near, rain near
Halo far, rain far”.
This old adage is virtually failsafe.
I sent this adage to several of my CAS members in the USA and elsewhere in the EU, and yes, they all said, “It works!
Best wishes.
Laurence
Thank you and also thanks to my neighbor who phoned to me to look at the moon, knowing about my intrest in this kind of phenomena. The halo was visible for about half an hour.
Hans
Perfect capture, Hans!
Well done, Sir!
Laurence
