Samantha Turbeville sent in this photo she took of a sun halo on Monday at about 2:30 p.m. in Lyndonville.

“It’s no eclipse but it’s still cool,” Turbeville said.

A halo emerges as a ring or light that forms around the sun as light refracts off ice crystals present in a thin veil or cirrus clouds.

Higher temperatures will return today after a couple chilly days.

Today is forecast to be sunny with a high of 59 followed by highs of 61 on Wednesday, 56 on Thursday and 51 on Friday.
