December Moon
The full moon of December is on the 4th and should be out by 6:25 PM. The full moons of winter when we have snow on the ground are spectacular. The light of the moon reflects off of the snow on the ground and it almost looks like daylight outside. This winter I will go cross-country skiing or snowshoeing across a lake by the light of a full moon, after they freeze up!
