Should be from tonight until perhaps Friday. 
I love to see a bright full moon on a clear night,  so hope to see this one tonight.

A Snow Moon is set to brighten the night sky on Wednesday, 12th February 2025.
It will peak at 1:53 PM, but the best time to see it is in the evening when it rises in the east-northeast around 5:07 PM.
For centuries, February's full moon has been known as the Snow Moon, named after the heavy snowfall that often blankets the Northern Hemisphere at this time of year. Some cultures, including Native American tribes, also called it the Hunger Moon because harsh winter conditions make hunting difficult.
This year, the Snow Moon will appear in the constellation Leo, close to Regulus, its brightest star. This will make for a stunning sight in the night sky.

Bit cloudy here tonight so might not see much. I love the Wolf Moon it's usually a cracker, cold n icy but lights up the sky beautifully. Last night's North Star was so bright it was dazzling.

It was too cloudy here too, Raven.   
Will try again tonight.
It is suppoosed to be the last full moon of winter.

There's something about a bright full moon, isn't there.  I love it.

Yes we used to sometimes take Dageus for a bright moonlight stroll over on the beach. :smiley:
