Full Wolf Moon

January’s full Moon reaches its moment of fullness while out of sight at 11:54 a.m., but will be at near fullness when it sets at 8:11 a.m. and again when it rises at 4:49 p.m.

From Farmers’ Almanac: “Amid the cold and deep snows of midwinter, the wolf packs howled hungrily outside Indian villages. Thus, the name for January’s full Moon. Sometimes it was also referred to as the Old Moon, or the Moon After Yule. Some called it the Full Snow Moon, but most tribes applied that name to the next Moon.”
