Full Cold Moon

by Peter Geiger | Thursday, December 11th, 2008 |

Another year and another 12 Full Moons. We cap 2008 off with the Full Cold Moon which arrives at 11:37am (Eastern) on December 12th. For some of us, we might call it the Full Numbingly Cold Moon. It was a weird week in Maine. On Tuesday we had wind-chills of -20 degrees (F). Wednesday it peaks at 57 degrees (F) and today is ice and snow.

Lots of places have had unusual weather as we get closer to the official start of winter. Wisconsin got major snow earlier this week and I have reports of snow as far south as Houston, Tx. (first snow in 4 years) shutting everything down. So, the name we associate with the December Full Moon seems most appropriate this year.

If you would like to see what is in store for Full Moons during 2009 – 13 Moons. Go to our link http://www.farmersalmanac.com/full-moon-dates-and-times . Take a look at December when we’ll have a Blue Moon.

You are correct on the snow falling in Houston Texas on December 10, 2008. I live 50 miles north of Houston and we recieved approximately 2 inches that seemed to accumulate on the cars and grass but was all gone by noon on the 11th
