A halo indicates cirrus clouds are moving overhead, and cirrus clouds often precede the warm sector of a winter storm, which is where steady precipitation occurs. With that said, it is no guarantee that it will happen, and precipitation may be in the form of ice or rain as well.

What does a giant ring around the moon mean?
The ring is caused by ice crystals high in the atmosphere. The moon's light is refracted off them causing the halo effect. Old wives tales say that the ring predicts bad weather such as rain or snow. You can tell how far away the bad weather is by the number of stars inside the ring. Each star is said to represent 24 hours. So....1 star would mean foul weather will come withing 24 hours.You can see a ring around the moon in Southern Illinois tonight(Dec. 1, 2009) but it is too foggy to see if there are any stars inside it. How ever, the weather forecast for us is rain turning to snow or sleet tomorrow afternoon so I'd say the moon ring predicted true for us.Narda
What does it mean when there is a yellow ring around the moon?
That means there is a certain type of clouds in the atmosphere, which causes this phenomenon.You've seen pictures of the planet Saturn, surrounded by its system of rings, but would you be surprised if you looked up at night to see a ring around the moon?In fact, it's sometimes possible to see just this. There's even a folk rhyme about it: When there's a ring around the moon, rain or snow is coming soon. Is there really, sometimes, a ring around the moon?An Optical IllusionUnlike Saturn, which has actual, physical rings, the ring you can sometimes see around the moon is merely an optical illusion.It's an effect of our own atmosphere that meteorologists call a "halo effect," because diffracted light rays create a halo around a bright object.How It WorksMoon halos are caused by tiny ice crystals that have gathered twenty thousand feet above the ground, as thin, wispy clouds. These clouds are so thin, you might not notice them at night, if it weren't for their effect on the moonlight. Incoming light rays from the moon are bent, or diffracted, by these ice crystals at an angle of 22 degrees.This means that in addition to the direct moonlight, you will also see diffracted moonlight in a circle 22 degrees away from the moon. This is about the distance of your fist, held at arm's length.Like a rainbow, this halo can even be slightly colored; red on the inside, and blue on the outside.Yes, it can mean that rain or snow is coming soon. Those high, wispy clouds could be the forerunners of storm clouds right behind them.

If therer is a ring around the sun or mon, it means that there is moisture in the atmosphere, thus the halo. It is an old sailors theme meaning that there is moisture on the way. This is because upper level atmospheric moisture is visable before a weather front. My grandfather always said if the moon has a halo, then it will bring rain. If dew is on the ground, then the the moisture is on ground level and no rain.
