February, 1999, was also a month with no full moon, making January and
March both "Blue Moon" months; i.e., months with two full moons.

who just thought you'd like to know.

Oh well, if we're going to be sticklers for a germ of truth in facts, then I
might as well point out that there WAS in fact a full moon at 16:27 UTC on
the 10th of February in 1865.

There was no full moon in February in 1866, 1885, 1915, 1934, or 1961, as
well as 1999 as you pointed out above. In 1972 a full moon occurred at 3:12
UTC on February 29th.*

....but maybe a few snippy seamen....

who thanks Wolfgang for the elaboration ( I was sure that there were
more, but I was pressed for time and I had actually lived through this
one, as well as the one in 1961, although I was unaware at the time)

Presumably, given the number in the last century and a half or so, there
have been many others. I haven't found a source that lists them......and
I'm not really inclined to try.

'61 was o.k. for me. It's pretty much the late 60s through the mid 70s that
I was unaware. :(

who supposes he must have had a pretty good time, though. :)
