February 2026: Snow Moon - Earrings
- Description
According to the Farmer's Almanac, "February’s Full 'Snow Moon' origin story “is a fairly straightforward one: it’s known as the Snow Moon due to the typically heavy snowfall that occurs in February. On average, February is the United States’ snowiest month, according to data from the National Weather Service.”
- Other names for this month’s Moon have historically had a connection to animals…. 🦅
- “The Cree traditionally called this the Bald Eagle Moon or Eagle Moon.”
- “The Ojibwe Bear Moon and Tlingit Black Bear Moon refer to the time when bear cubs are born.”
- “The Dakota also call this the Raccoon Moon; certain Algonquin peoples named it the Groundhog Moon, and the Haida named it Goose Moon.”
- “Another theme of this month’s Moon names is scarcity. The Cherokee names of Month of the Bony Moon and Hungry Moon give evidence to the fact that food was hard to come by at this time.”
