Wednesday’s Weather
Today low pressure near Nova Scotia meanders westward. Dry weather conditions are expected with north-northwest wind and temperatures around seasonable levels. Drier weather continues into late in the week and near-seasonable temperatures. Lots of uncertainty for this coming weekend as low-pressure tracks near and south of New England. This could bring us our next shot for wintry weather.
Full Worm Moon
The full moon that rose yesterday at 7:42 a.m. will be the final full moon of astronomical winter, with astronomical spring slated to arrive on the equinox at 5:24 p.m. on March 20. This is different from meteorological spring, which began when the calendar flipped to March 1. The full moon that rises in March is most commonly called the Worm Moon, according to the Old Farmer’s Almanac. As spring arrives and temperatures trend upward, earthworms begin to emerge from the softening ground. Other nicknames for the full moon in March include the Goose Moon, the Snow Crust Moon, the Eagle Moon, and the Sugar Moon.
