The peak of the moon will happen Sunday at 2:33 a.m. ET, according to Space.com.
It got its name because of February's tendency to have a lot of snow, almanac.com reported. It is the snowiest month according to the National Weather Service.
According to The Old Farmer's Almanac, it is also called:
- "Shoulder to Shoulder Around the Fire Moon" by the Wishram people in the Pacific Northwest.
- "No Snow in the Trails Moon" by the Zuni in the Southwest.
- "Bone Moon" by the Cherokee in the Southeast.
