bejay1957 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 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 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/0/can-see-lunar-eclipse-snow-moon-new-year-comet-night/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might call tomorrows sun no show sun 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astromerlin Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 25th Dec is the same as every other day but I bet ya call it christmas day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverAstro Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stub Mandrel Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 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!
