A Good Omen?

I'm not one for superstition and wives' tales, but I did see a good "snow sun" with a faint halo while skinny skiing at North Fork Park this morning.  

Surely that's a good omen for our Christmas Miracle storm?  The NWS has hoisted the Winter Storm Warning for the Wasatch Front and Mountains and is calling for 3-6 inches on the valley floors, 5-10 inches on the benches, and 10-20 inches in the mountains (see http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/slc/ for specifics and updates).  Hopefully tomorrow things will look like this.

Merry Christmas from the Wasatch Weather Weenies!
