Ludington North Breakwater: Orange moon hovers behind icy Michigan lighthouse signifying end of winter A burning orange moon seen radiantly glowing in the early hours before this morning's sunrise formed an almost unlikely pairing with the frozen edge of Lake Michigan. Seen in the icy photo's foreground, the Ludington North Breakwater Light stands steadfast despite a wearing wall of ice from crashing waves left cemented to its sides. Behind it, the full moon of March, called the 'Crow Moon' by northern tribes, shined on while signifying the end of winter and start of spring like the crows' own call, according to the Farmer's Almanac. New season: The Ludington North Breakwater Light is seen blinking in the foreground of the robust full moon of March long believed to signify the end of winter by northern tribes Temperatures in the area dipped to a low of 28 F degrees today, freezing the splashing waves around the steel tower that reaches 57 feet in size. At the top of the white tower, a blinking green light, with the strength of 5,000 candles, added just a drop of extra color to the frozen scene otherwise dominated by the white ice and the fiery moon. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the flashing beacon located north of Muskegon has been voted one of the top 10 lighthouses to see in the country by none other than the Weather Channel. Other moon names listed by the Farmer's Almanac that reference animals include the woof moon, sturgeon moon, beaver moon and the worm moon, which shares the name of the crow moon. As can be imagined, it's called the worm moon for when the temperatures typically begin to warm and the ground begins to thaw, opening the land back to the tiny, burrowing creatures. Historical beacon: The Ludington Light, first lit in 1924, is seen in an earlier photograph on the eastern shore of Lake Michigan having weathered years of similarly frozen winters
