February’s full moon is known as the “snow moon” as a result of the heavy snowfall that often occurs at that time of year...............

Supermoons occur when the Moon’s orbit brings it to the closest point to Earth while the Moon is full." foxnews.com/science/get-set-for-super-snow-moon-the-biggest-supermoon-of-the-year

    That could be, there seems to be a very slight effect on pendulum due to that:

    Wouldn't be surprising if some kind of butterfly effect could get set off.
