Full Cold Moon Dec. 7, 2022

 details from Old Farmer's Almanac (www.almanac.com)

December's full moon reaches peak illumination on December 7, 2022

at 11:09 p.m. Eastern Time

The Full Cold Moon has a very high trajectory so start looking for it as it

rises above the horizon; it will be above the horizon longer that most

monthly full moons.

The Cold Moon is a Mohawk name that conveys the frigid conditions of

this time of year when cold weather begins to first grip us all of us.
