'Snow moon' dazzles skywatchers in P.E.I.
February full moon typically called 'snow moon' because month usually sees heaviest snowfall
February's full moon has been dazzling skywatchers around the Island.
This moon is usually called the "snow moon," because February is typically the snowiest month of the year.
While there may not be much snow on the ground right now, the moon is still featured in some lovely winter shots.
