NEW YORK (PIX11) – February is known as the snowiest month and features an appropriately named full moon.
Star gazers can look in the sky on Feb. 12 at 8:53 a.m. to see the Full Snow Moon. According to the Farmer’s Almanac, the best time to catch a glimpse of the full moon will be the night before or later in the day.
The Snow Moon gets its name from the heavy snowfall that usually occurs in February, the Farmer’s Almanac says. Forecasters from the National Weather Service say February is the snowiest month in the United States on average.
Within the first week of February two snow storms were forecasted for New York this year.
The next full moon, known as the Worm Moon is set for March 14.
