Full moons have many names, depending on the culture and location of those gazing up at it.
February's full moon is called The Snow Moon. It seems so apropos this year. Native American Indians called it this because this is the time for the heaviest snow storms, as we've seen. It is sometimes called the Hunger Moon, because food stores are running low.
Wolf Moon was the name for the English used for the February full moon, as the wolves would be on the prowl. But this year - I think Snow Moon suits it best.
