Where Should I Look For the Moon?
The snow moon, will likely be visible in the night sky when looking east. According to the latest forecast models, skies should be mostly clear with a chance for rain Friday night into early Saturday morning.
Why Do We Call It the Snow Moon?
The snow moon gained its name from the Farmer s Almanac, which says heavy snow typically occurs in the month of February. In the U.S., February has historically been the snowiest month, according to meteorologists.
Other February full moons have been appropriately named Groundhog moon, falling at the beginning of February, along with bald eagle moon and black bear moon.
