In all my years I have never before seen a circular rainbow.  Has anyone reading this ever seen one before?

There's probably a reason that you've never seen one before, just saying....

What reason do you think?  Most of my life was spent in southern Ontario and now in a relatively flat place in China for the first 13 or so years but now in an area surrounded by mountains.  Is it because, as Dig said, I need to be in a high place or seeing it from the air?

I think you need to be in a high place or up in the air to see something like that. It wouldn't surprise me if pilots see them more than anyone else.

Well, pilots DO seem to see UFOs more than anyone else.

It's been so long since I've seen a rainbow I don't remember if or when I saw anything other than a single bow rainbow.

Seen a few double rainbows in my time, even a couple fogbows and once a snowbow but never a full circlebow

Am I right to assume a "snowbow " is a bow that appears during a snowstorm?

Nope, just appears during the cold depths of winter

Interesting, but surprising that although most of my life from birth on was spent in Ontario that I never saw a snowbow.

Was a few years ago for me. Don't know the reasons but it was about -30, a calm early morning just after dawn, around mid February and was on or near the S Saskatchewan river
