The sun has mittens Today

While walking to the school we saw a rainbow ring around the sun. At first we thought it was just on the sides, but in the picture it looks like it goes all the way around. Steven and Christine Stone told us that when it's on the side, it's said that the sun "has mittens", and Christine told me that today that the sun has a "raelic" (sp? don't have a red book handy) or a ruff. There are traditional stories that explain the "mittens", and weather wise it means that it's going to be REALLY COLD. Makes sense if even the sun has her mittens on and ruff up!
