Dating back to the 1930s, the Maine Farmers' Almanac began publishing what it said were Native American names for each full moon and the names have stuck since. January's full moon is called the Wolf Moon due to the "packs of wolves heard howling outside the villages amid the cold and deep snows of winter," according to NASA.

January's full moon, known as the wolf moon, comes after the Volunteer State and much of the South is expected to be blanketed in snow from a major winter storm pushing up from the Mexico/Texas border. But by the time Monday's full moon rolls around, Tennesseans should have clear (but chilly) conditions in which to see the full moon's peak.
