Weather in February

February in Maine continues the winter narrative set by January, though with a few nuanced changes. The month generally retains its cold demeanor with average low temperatures still lingering around the harsh realms of 12°F (-11.1°C). Daytime highs, while still cold, start inching slightly above the freezing mark of 32°F (0°C) as the month progresses.

Areas like Portland and Bangor along the coast experience a tad milder weather due to the Atlantic's mitigating effects. On the other hand, regions farther inland, such as Millinocket and Fort Kent, face more pronounced cold, especially during the nights.

In comparison to January, February is similarly cold but often carries the promise of the upcoming spring, especially as it nears its end. The snow remains a dominant feature. However, snowfall begins to show signs of reduction, especially in coastal areas. Yet, regions farther north and west can still be hit by heavy snowstorms. February's snow is often dense and wet, contrasting with the lighter, powdery snow of December and January. This is largely due to the slight increase in temperature and occasional rainfall mixing with the snow.

As March approaches, Maine begins to witness the first subtle signs of winter's retreat. While snow and cold still dominate the scene, the lengthening days and the sun's strengthening rays hint at the impending thaw and the blossoming days of spring.
