The second full moon of the year, called the ‘Snow Moon,’ happened on February 1st. It was visible all over the northern hemisphere. This name comes from history and relates to the tough weather we see in February.
The name comes from Native American traditions. They named full moons based on what happens in nature during that time. February is known for heavy snowfalls, which is why it got this name. Other cultures have their own names, like ‘Ice Moon,’ ‘Cleansing Moon,’ or ‘Flowering Moon.’
