"Skygazers will be treated to the 'super snow moon,' on Feb. 19, the largest supermoon of 2019.
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

You missed by at least 25 years. The observant certainly can notice the apparent size and brightness difference. It's not really that amazing but it's noticeable. It's just a very minor curiosity really. Or as good of an excuse as any to look up or have a party (as if an excuse is needed).
If it makes a few kids a little more curious or causes a few minutes of quality time with a parent, it's worth a lot more than carping about it is.
