<div> <B>Native American Full Moons</B></div> <div> <I><B>Todd Gross</B></I> </div> <div> A very popular feature here on 7 Weather has been the changing names of the monthly full moons. These imaginative names were given by the Native American tribes of the northern and eastern United States. By giving specific names to each of the full moons during the year, the Indians were able to keep track of the change in seasons. The majority of names came from the Algonquin tribe. These names vary a bit each year. The most common names are listed below:</div> <div> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="1" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="627" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="VOID" RULES="NONE" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 15 ><NOBR><div> <B>Month</B></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="589"><div> <B>Full Moon</B></div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 15 ><NOBR><div> January</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <B>Wolf</B> - Named after the hungry wolf packs that roamed outside Native American villages.</div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 15 ><NOBR><div> February</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <B>Snow</B> - Named after the snow pack which was deepest at this time of year.</div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 45 ><NOBR><div> March</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="589"><div> <B>Worm or Full Sap</B> - Named for the reappearance of earthworms which attracted robins in early spring.

On rare occasions, we have two full moons in a month, one at the beginning of the month and one at the end of the month. The second full moon is known as a "Blue Moon". The next Blue Moon is January 31, 1999. There is another occurrence of two full moons soon after in March 1999, with no full moon in February 1999. </div> <div> The phrase "Blue Moon" originally referred to the tint the moon took on once in awhile during forest fires or major volcanic eruptions. </div> <div> <I>Some information on the full moons has been provided by</I><FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#FFFFCC" FACE="Arial" ><I> </I></FONT><FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#FF00FF" FACE="Arial" ><I><U>The Old Farmer’s Almanac.</U></I></FONT></div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
