February Recap

Worm Moon

Here is your February Climate data for Glasgow. I was a warm February for the area, Terry (in Prairie county) seeing it’s 3th warmest February on record, Saco, experiencing it’s 4th warmest and Glendive it’s 8th! It was also a dry month for most, but for the Winter (December through February), most places came out close or slightly above normal, thanks to wet/whiter than normal December. The Outlook for March from the Climate Prediction Center doesn’t show high probabilities for abnormal temperatures nor precipitation.

The third Full Moon of 2025 is on March 3rd. It is known as the Worm Moon as earthworms begin to become more active in the soil. In addition to it being a Full Moon, a Lunar Eclipse will occur with the moon partially eclipsing (entering the umbra) at 2:23 AM. The moon reaches totality at 4:04 AM and this will last until 5:03 AM. The partial eclipse (leaving the umbra) will end at 6:33 AM. When the moon is fully eclipsed it appears as a reddish color, which is why moons during Lunar Eclipses are also known as a “Blood Moon”
