The February full moon is called the Snow Moon.
The name "Snow Moon" originates from the typically heavy snowfall that occurs during February in North America. This name reflects the often harsh winter conditions prevalent during this time. Some Native American tribes also had alternative names for the February full moon. For instance, some tribes referred to it as the "Hungry Moon" due to the scarcity of food sources during the mid-winter months. Another name used was "Bear Moon," signifying the time when bear cubs are typically born. While "Snow Moon" is the most widely recognized name, these alternative names offer a glimpse into how different cultures interpreted and connected with the natural cycles of the year.
