Snow has been hard to come by for much of the Northeast so far this winter leaving many of the large cities with snow deficits. Residents in the Northeast and elsewhere across the United States can look to the sky for snow of a different kind at the end of the weekend.
The Snow Moon, the last full moon of meteorological winter in the Northern Hemisphere, will reach peak brightness on Sunday afternoon at 1:30 p.m. EST, although it will not rise above the horizon across the continent until after sunset on Sunday evening. The snow-themed moon will appear full for approximately three days spanning early Saturday morning through early Tuesday morning, according to NASA.
