The full moon of February will hit its peak Tuesday night (Feb. 7) in what Algonquin Native American tribes have traditionally called the Snow Moon since heavy snowfalls typically occur in the northern regions this month.
This month's full moon occurs at 4:54 p.m. EST (2154 GMT), although the moon can appear full to casual observers a day before and after the exact time of its full phase. Just after sunset, the bright planets Venus and Jupiter are also putting on a celestial show for skywatchers with clear weather.
Hmmmm...I thought it was last night. I prepared for teh crazee for nothing.
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken; William Shakespeare, Sonnet 116
I had just noticed some snarky topics and looked for the full moon, and it's still out there.....
only I'm a day behind!! call me
HA!!! For once! We loves you, babe. I'm guessin' all that free time has got you all messed up schedule-wise.

When I see a full moon, I always think of rocket attacks. In certain areas of Afghanistan, the bad guys would use the light of the full moon to shoot their crappy rockets onto the military base. Many times over the years I have been talking to DH via Skype when the big voice comes on warning them to "don their helmets". I'll never look at a full moon the same way again.

You shall find me waiting for you in the old cemetery, under the shade of the magnolia tree.............
Ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.
