Snow Moon



Feb. 9, 9:49 a.m. EST -- Full Snow Moon. Usually the heaviest snows fall in this month. Hunting becomes very difficult, and hence to some tribes this was the Full Hunger Moon. - via space.com
Kind of ironic that this is the Snow Moon and we have hardly no snow on the ground. I stood out front in short sleeves and took this picture tonight. We're having unseasonably warm weather here... a rare midwinter treat here in Iowa. We actually had a thunder shower this morning!

This is the last full moon I'll be looking at in the Iowa sky for a while. Next month it'll be from our new home in Maine! Exciting times. Beautiful moon.
