Saturday, February 8, 2020 we had a full moon. I wanted to post this yesterday, but got busy and then when I had to run out and run errands time got away from me. I was tired when I got home so didn't post it.
February's full moon is called the Full Snow Moon. The reasoning behind the name is that there is more snow falling in February than any other month of the year.
The term Full Snow Moon was something I had never heard before. This confirms that you can never be too old for learning and something that I hope I can always do, learn more!
I caught the full moon as I was running my errands late yesterday. It was beautiful and a sight to see. It really wasn't anything different from other full moon in my opinion, just a different name for the month of February.
Did you catch the Full Snow Moon last night? Have you ever heard the term Full Snow Moon before?

@porwest Maybe, but the Indians had names for most things which makes me think every month a full moon occurs they gave it a name. I found it!! Check this out:
Native American and other traditional names for full Moons used to track the seasons.

it was amazing. I had to get out of the house for a bit. We watched the movie Once upon a time in Hollywood. It was a bit more violent than I thought it would be.

@DocAndersen So inquiring minds want to know what you thought it would be like?

@kareng it was pretty graphic. Not what I thought it was going to be.

This is absolutely a gorgeous image, I was hoping it was yours. I saw the moon the next morning, before it was light. Yes, it seems we have given a name to each moon, possibly capitalizing on names the Native Americans have had.

I was looking for it, but it was too cloudy last night, but it did light up the sky!
Our condo is having a Howl at the Moon party tonight, but we have long-standing plans to go out with a group of friends.
I will look for it tonight anyway.

How neat! I bet the party was fun. Sorry it was cloudy for you. We are partly cloudy today with clouds coming back in for a rainy week. What is going on with all this rain here? But on a good note, the temperatures will be in 60's and 70's. Win!

@DianneN For the most part it was nice today. Warm temps but on the windy side. The sun was out for several hours and now it is clouding up. It is supposed to start raining before day break tomorrow and through Tuesday. Then scattered showers and thunderstorms for the remainder of the week. Ugg. At least it won't be cold and rainy!
