Last night’s full moon rose from behind Acadia National Park and barged uninvited into the cloud conference there about how much rain to deliver to us today (which has been plenty).
The moon, which was a super moon, played peek-a-boo among the clouds while still in its early, Martian red ascent.
It turned platinum in about 10 minutes and reached for us with a glitter path whenever it could see Blue Hill Bay.
The primary name given by Native Americans to this February full moon was the Snow Moon, but it also was known by some tribes as the Storm Moon and Hunger Moon. In other parts of the world, the February full moon reportedly has been called the Chinese Lantern Festival Moon, the Mahamuni Pagoda Festival Moon, and other names. (Brooklin, Maine)
