Eye of the storm?

Yesterday while showveling the snow in our driveway for the second time that day at 10pm, I glanced causually upwards at the cloudy white sky and bright moon. The sky always has beautiful things to show, expecially if it is a clear night sky with millions and billions and trillions of stars But Let me tell you, yesterday I saw the coolest thing I have ever seen in the sky. There was a ring around the moon where the sky was clear. The moon was at the dead center of it. It was pretty and pitch black with stars shining. The circle was perfectly round. But beyond the circle the sky was ashy gray. My brother and I were trying to figure out what it was. Then Dad and Mom arrived home from the restaurant just about the time we finished shoveling. I exclaimed enthusiastically for them to view this miracle for themselves. My dad proposed that it was because of the light of the moon that created a lighted circular region around it. I was like, "No way. Usually the clouds will just cover the moon too"

So I proposed that we were at the eye of a small storm-blizzard. And just about that time, the small wispy wind and still night turned to whirling and vicious winds. I was like, "Way cool! We are reaching the edge of the eye."

You know it is kind of like in Day After Tomorow except on a miniscule scale.
