I had to Google "Groundhog Moon" as I was fascinated: "The February 1, 2026, full moon is the "Snow Moon," also known as the Groundhog Moon by certain Algonquin peoples. It is named for the peak, heavy snowfall typically experienced during this month. This moon is sometimes referred to as the Bear Moon or Hungry Moon." Your words Linda add so much more depth and brings to life Google's meaning. Cheers - Gary
