The “Cold Moon” is the Northeast Native American name for the December full moon. It means the time when the cold sets in for winter.

In New York City the first snow usually falls around the first week of December. January is the coldest month and February is the snowiest. So the cold moon marks the beginning of wintertime in New York City.
