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

    It's definitely a tabloid media thing, although I've seen a few supposedly more reputable outlets fall into line with this garbage as well. I think they're now trying to do a Gillette [theonion.com] with each other, so it's probably just a matter of time before one of them decides to fuck everything and go with a "Super {*FIVE* vague cultural references}, {two pseudo-scientific astronomical/horological references}, {random colour} moon".
