February weather forecast
Pennsylvania, USA

February in Pennsylvania carries forward the cold spell from January, though the temperatures begin to show a slight rise as the month progresses. On average, temperatures during February range from 20°F (-6.7°C) to 35°F (1.7°C). While it may not claim the title of the coldest month, February stands out as the snowiest month in Pennsylvania. This is especially pronounced in the state's mountainous regions and areas near Lake Erie, where snowfall accumulations can be substantial.

Compared to the deeper chill of January, February offers a marginally warmer ambiance, serving as a transition towards the approaching spring. But despite this incremental rise in temperatures, snowstorms remain a frequent event, blanketing towns and cities alike in a white cloak. As in January, eastern valleys, which are positioned on the leeward side of the mountains, tend to experience milder temperatures and reduced snowfall compared to the state's more elevated areas.

Given Pennsylvania's vast topographical diversity, certain locations experience notable weather patterns. For instance, while the western parts of the state, especially those in proximity to Lake Erie, continue to receive significant snowfall, the southeastern corner, with its unique topography, leans towards a humid subtropical climate, making it relatively warmer.

As February draws to a close, the state starts preparing for the onset of spring, with days slowly becoming longer and the sun making more frequent appearances, signaling an imminent shift from the relentless grip of winter.
