The full moon in December is during the month when the winter cold fastens it grip and nights became long and dark. Some indigenous people called this full moon the Long Nights Moon.

After two days of camping at Malaquite Campground in Padre Island National Seashore awaiting for the full moon to rise above the Gulf of Mexico horizon, the sky turned cloudy which indicated that there would be no viewing the full moon from the seashore. Thus, I drove inland to Corpus Christi, Texas, where I did my shopping at two hf-marts to obtain my preferred selections. Afterwards, I drove to the local d-mart to park overnight

The next morning, as I was driving out of the city, I see the full moon descending to the horizon.

Shortly after the Great Conjunction which occurred on the 21st of December, the moon returned to the full phase of its cycle on 29 December. However, it was such a clear night on the 27th, that the moon even looked full, so I took photos of it.

Two days later, on 29 December 2020, I again take photos of the moon, now officially full.

(Day 478 TG) I have been watching the Snow moon for several days now as it has been approaching full. Unlike the previous two full moons here in the desert, which appeared in clear cloudless skies, this Snow moon is enwrapped with clouds or at best for photograph a light haze.

(Day 123 TG) The full moon is actually during the day of 22 December 2018 at 11:49 CST (17:49 UTC). I thus take photos on both Friday and Saturday evening.

(Day 739 TB) It is the evening of 04 December 2017, the moon is at perigee but the sky is overcast with thick fog when I first begin taking photos. After an hour, the fog clears just a little and I can begin to make out the moon craters. The clarity never got any better but I choose one photo for to upload.
