It is the 3rd of the 25 lunations dated for 2031, and the cycle it belongs to is set out in what a lunation is.

Why it is called the Snow Moon
The Snow Moon is the traditional North American and European name for the full Moon of February, and in 2031 it falls on February 7, 2031 at 18°32' Leo. Those names follow the calendar month rather than the zodiac, which is why the 2031 one lands in Leo at 18°32' Leo while other years put it elsewhere.
