Good morning, Medford, Tuesday, March 3
Here's a look at what's happening today in Medford, aside from more snow, that is.
We have a full moon today. Depending on the time of year and the weather, the full moon presents great photo opportunities. Today, however, we'll have to see because we could get more snow this afternoon. Heads-up that the roads may be icy for this evening's commute.
People have had many interesting beliefs about the moon. We've all heard the one about the full moon's ability to make you go mad, but there are many others, including the theory that the moon is really a hollow spacecraft. History.com has a fun article called, "7 Unusual Myths and Theories About the Moon."
