February weather forecast
Minnesota, USA

February in Minnesota continues the trend of cold and snowy conditions established in January. While still frigid, temperatures may slightly increase compared to the previous month. In the northern counties, temperatures range from -25°F (-31.7°C) to 15°F (-9.4°C), while in the southern parts of the state, temperatures are a bit more moderate, ranging from 15°F (-9.4°C) to 30°F (-1.1°C).

Snowfall remains substantial across Minnesota in February, with the northern highlands near Lake Superior continuing to receive the highest amounts, close to 70" (1778mm). The southern and western regions experience decreased snowfall, closer to 40" (1016mm). Freezing rain and ice storms can still be prevalent, particularly in the southern areas.

February is the month when Minnesota recorded its lowest-ever temperature of -60°F (-51.1°C) in the town of Tower on February 2, 1996. This historical record underscores the month's potential for extreme cold.

The proximity to Lake Superior does bring some moderation to the winter temperatures but is generally not enough to make a substantial difference in the prevailing cold conditions.

Comparatively, February's weather is quite similar to January's, with only a slight increase in temperature as the state transitions towards the end of winter. The continuation of significant snowfall and the lingering potential for extreme cold make February another challenging month in Minnesota's winter season.
