Never heard of this but apparently it coincides with the Lunar eclipse.

One of the many full Native American moon names  - I always like January's Wolf Moon ;)

What's worse is the media building this Friday up as something spectacular with the Snow Moon, eclipse and New Year's comet - even if it's clear there will be many disappointed skywatchers

Nice story Dave. Never heard of this before.

So let me get this straight the full moon on the 11th is actually no different to any other full moon? Just mumbo jumbo then. I might call tomorrows sun no show sun

We won't see it because... snow is forecast for Saturday

Its the full moon that falls in February - not sure why the UK media is picking up more on the Native American lore for the descriptions...  It will coincide with a penumbral eclipse - that's about it!

Perhaps we should bring it up to-date and call it  "Whats in the freezer" moon, who needs to do shopping when it's cold out.

No, the op explained why its called the snow moon so no mumbo jumbo involved. Especially if you're a native american. The 25th Dec is the same as every other day but I bet ya call it christmas day.

Actually i call it a lot of things none of which i can mention on here

Guess what, it snowed here today ! first time in   living memory    two years !!

I blame those American natives 

but it was only a few wet flakes, didnt pitch and didnt last long, much like two years ago.

There's no moon, like snow moon, like no moon I know...

Everything about it is concealing, hiding behind cirrus ain't allowed,

Nowhere could you get that loonie feeling when there's a ceiling of extra cloud!
