A ring around the sun or moon, means rain or snow coming soon.

When grass is dry at morning light Look for rain before the night.

Dew on the grass, rain won't come to pass.

Catchy drawer and sticky door, Coming rain will pour and pour.

The winds of the daytime wrestle and fight, Longer and stronger than those of the night.
