Weather in February
February continues the cold trend in
Connecticut but generally shows a slight easing in temperatures compared to the harsher conditions of
January. Average low temperatures remain in the freezing range but tend to be marginally milder, creating a transition toward the forthcoming spring months.
Snowfall remains significant, particularly in the northern hilly regions. While the amounts of snowfall are similar to those in January, the distribution across the state continues to show variations. Coastal regions and areas in the south and east generally receive less snow, averaging 20" (508mm) annually, while northern areas may receive up to 60" (1524mm). Higher elevations can continue to record more substantial snowfall, particularly during colder winters.
Cold fronts from the Canadian North may still invade the state during February, though with less frequency and intensity than in January. This can lead to icy road conditions and the presence of black ice, especially in the northern and inland areas.
Fog remains a weather consideration in coastal regions, though it becomes less prevalent as the month progresses. The humidity levels during this time begin to shift as the state moves closer to spring, yet remain consistent with winter norms.
