The Super Frost Moon

 The full moon on the 15th will be the last of the supermoons of the year. When it rises, because it is slightly closer to us than normal, it will appear larger. 

The full moon in November is known as the Frost Moon. November is the month when traditionally the first very cold nights of the year occur and frosts will be seen, heralding the winter months.

And guess what, it is going to be frosty this week and possibly next week as well, so these old 1,000 year old names for the moons might be right after all.
