A little ramble through the February night sky - The Snow Moon on February 1st

 The Moon takes a month or 'Moonth' as it used to be described hundreds of years ago to go once around the Earth. If we take the old word moonth we get the modern day word month.

The full moon in February which will be on February1st this year is called the Snow Moon. This is the month when we are most likely to see snow and to have the coldest weather of the year.
