The Full Snow Moon
The February full Moon is commonly referred to as The Full Snow Moon, which makes sense, at least for the more northern regions of the Northern Hemisphere. February is generally the month of the year that brings the most snow to these regions. Other names that the February full Moon has gone by include the Eagle Moon, Bear Moon, Raccoon Moon, and Groundhog Moon. According to the Old Farmer’s Almanac, the Cherokee tribe called the February full Moon the Bony Moon and the Hungry Moon, which is related to food scarcity during February.
