For best results, readers in the East should add 1 to 2 days to specific days mentioned in the overviews. In the West, subtract 1 to 2 days. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe S.A.D.

Sometimes seasonal imbalance can be debilitating; when it is, the problem is often called S.A.D. or Seasonal Affective Disorder. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe New Moon Names for 2022: \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eThe following moon names used in \u003ci\u003ePoor Will's Almanack refer to\u003c\/i\u003e events related to seasonal change in the natural year at average elevations along the 40th Parallel.
