Monday night to feature lunar duo: Supermoon, full Snow Moon

The Snow Moon will shine brightly on the night of Monday, Feb. 18, 2019, even in areas where snow is not on the ground. But how did the moon earn this nickname?
Each month features a full moon, when the sun illuminates the entire Earth-facing side of our celestial neighbor.
Over the years, each full moon has been given a nickname that can often be linked to the month in which it falls, such as the weather or what plants are in bloom.
Some nicknames are centuries old, dating back to Native American tribes or early Colonial Americans settling in North America.

“Traditionally, the moon we see in February is called the Snow Moon due to the typically heavy snowfall of February,“ the Old Farmer’s Almanac said on its website.
The Snow Moon is just one of many nicknames bestowed upon February’s full moon by cultures from around the world. Another common name is the ‘Bone Moon.’
“The Bone Moon meant that there was so little food that people gnawed on bones and ate bone marrow soup,” the Old Farmer’s Almanac reported.
