Snow moon. Storm moon. Hunger moon. February moon waxing high in a frozen sky.

Big Game. Big Moon.

Fourth quarter. The Bengals are holding on, so far. Needed to go out and look at the waxing Snow Moon to find a little calm.

Tonight’s Waxing Moon

Here’s tonight’s moon over East Dundee, Illinois, February 12, 2022. Waxing its way toward full. February’s full moon is known as the Snow Moon or the Storm Moon. What’s in a name? This year, the moon will reach full on February 16, the same night a winter storm is expected to hit our neighborhood, dropping up to six inches. Wonder if I’ll be able to see the moon through the falling snow?
