The temperatures don't seem to be tracking as well this year as they have in the past. In a typical winter it's clear and cold on the full moon and snowy on the first and third quarter. The new moon is typically colder than the quarters but warmer than the full moon. It's not bad to realize that your weather is influenced by the moon and therefore your planting times somewhat follow the moon.
The thing that I think is important to understand is that it's only part of the picture. Being observant of what the trees are doing, what the animals are doing, what the long term weather forecasts look like( I'm talking about the 1 to two week ones), and how your own microclimate is different from those around you are more of the picture.
