The moon will appear full tonight, and will be at its peak illumination at 3:19 a.m. Saturday, according to NASA.
Although temperatures are now well above freezing and the remaining snow pack won’t be around much longer, the snow moon is still aptly named because February is on average the snowiest month of the year in the United States, according to National Weather Service data.
So far this month, Dayton has received 14.8 inches of snow, with 21.9 inches reported in Cincinnati and 12.1 inches in Columbus, according to the NWS in Wilmington.
