FULL SNOW MOON FEBRUARY 16 2022

According to the Farmers Almanac, the name of the moon dates back to the 1760s when Captain Jonathan Carver, said after a visit with Native American tribes, the moon was dubbed the “Snow Moon,” because “most snow commonly falls during this month than any other in the winter.”

Like many other full moons, this one has a variety of names. It’s also known as the Storm or Hunter Moon; the Wolf or Candles Moon; the Bald Eagle Moon or Eagle Moon; Bear Moon or Black Bear Moon. The Dakota called this the Raccoon Moon, and certain Algonquin peoples named it the Groundhog Moon. The Haida named it Goose Moon, the Farmers Almanac reported.
