My wife and I were walking our Labs last evening and were treated to a beautiful sight. It had just finished raining and two rainbows appeared. The most that we can remember seeing at one time is three. Has anyone seen more?

I've seen three way back when, but my most memorable was two. Both very crisp and clear. Usually the second and/ or third are dimmer than the first. What made it special, is that it was the middle of February, about -20 F. Reflections were off ice crystals instead of water vapor.

We live on a hill with 40 - 60 mile views and frequently see double rainbows with full 180 degree arcs on both. We've had 2 - 3 triples but nothing more and some of these may not have been 180 degree full arcs.
