Hiking with Maria has become a spiritual event, even for this atheist. The lunar treks are 100% magic and I highly recommend everyone make the trip at least once." - Gillian LeviWhy is it called the Full Snow Moon? The explanation behind February’s full Moon name is a fairly straightforward one: it’s known as the Snow Moon due to the typically heavy snowfall that occurs in February. On average, February is the United States’ snowiest month, according to data from the National Weather Service. In the 1760s, Captain Jonathan Carver, who had visited with the Naudowessie (Dakota), wrote that the name used for this period was the Snow Moon, “because more snow commonly falls during this month than any other in the winter.” (Source)
