Your pics: The shining Wolf Moon
Digital Reporter
Monday, January 5, 2015, 9:47 AM - If you were lucky enough to be beneath clear skies Sunday, you might have basked in the cold light of the first full moon of 2015.
It's commonly known as the Wolf Moon, so-called because it coincided with wolves howling in hunger outside villages in the winter, according to the Farmer's Almanac.
Other names for this full moon include the Yule Moon or Snow moon.
