The final full moon of meteorological winter illuminated the weekend sky, and for some skywatchers across the eastern United States, it created an eye-grabbing meteorological spectacle.
February’s full moon is commonly called the Snow Moon after the snowstorms that typically track across North America throughout the month. The nickname may not hold up to its meteorological origins this year as AccuWeather long-range forecasters are predicting mild spells across large areas of the U.S. in February before meteorological spring begins on March 1.
