February's Snow Full Moon, 2023-02-04

Front Row Seats at the Drive-In Movie! I didn't "see" this in the moment, but once I opened it on the computer it's all I could see. Two old friends meeting at the Drive-In to watch the moon rise.

 

Snow Full Moon, 2023-02-04

Called the Snow moon in North America and Europe as February is the month of heaviest snowfalls. Native American tribes also refer to it as the Hunger Moon because it was difficult to hunt under harsh weather conditions.

 

February's full moon is also the second and last micromoon of 2023. At a distance of 405,830 miles compared to August 2023 supermoon at a distance of 357,344 miles.
