Ring Around The Moon Folklore has it that a ring around the moon signifies bad weather is coming. The ice crystals that cover the halo signify high altitude, thin cirrus clouds that normally precede a warm front by one or two days. It is believed that the number of stars within a moon halo indicate the number days before bad weather will arrive. Give it a try the next time you observe a moon halo.
