FULL WORM MOON - MARCH


Tonight is the FULL WORM MOON of March
Full Moon names date back to Native Americans
As the temperature begins to warm and the ground begins to thaw, earthworm casts appear, heralding the return of the robins.
The more northern tribes knew this Moon as the Full Crow Moon, when the cawing of crows signaled the end of winter.
It is also known as the Full Crust Moon, because the snow cover becomes crusted from thawing by day and freezing at night.
Another variation is Full Sap Moon, marking the time of tapping maple trees.
To the settlers, it was also know as the Lenten Moon, and was considered to be the last full Moon of winter.
