Full Moon!
Today is a full moon also called a Snow Moon, other names include storm moon and wolf moon! The name comes from the ice cold often snowy weather that is typical at this time of year.
Today Snow moon is also a micro moon.
A micromoon is a full moon that coincides with Earth's farthest point from the Moon in its orbit, called its apogee. This makes the moon appear smaller in the sky. A micromoon is the opposite of a supermoon, when the Earth and Moon are at the closest point in their orbit.

| In folklore stories the full moon is always a time that is most dangerous for travellers. It has been reported that Witches would be seen flying by the magic of the moon. That Pixie and fairies were often reported by local farmers to be dancing in their fields causing mischief and annoying the cattle! And the most dangerous of all it was the time of werewolves! Reports of attacks on cattle and lonely travellers by large wolves or manlike beasts were often reported around and especially on a full moon! |
