Weather in February
February in
Vermont continues the winter's grip, though it hints at the beginning transitions leading to spring. Much like
January, February is characterized by its frigid temperatures and frequent snowfall, but the severity is often slightly diminished compared to the peak cold of the previous month.
Temperature-wise, February maintains a cold stance with average lows still well within the winter spectrum, although marginally warmer than January. Daytime temperatures, while still cold, occasionally experience slightly warmer spurts, indicating the slow approach of spring.
In terms of snowfall, Vermont continues to witness significant amounts in February. However, the frequency and intensity of snowstorms may start to wane as the month progresses. The Green Mountains and other elevated regions, which are consistently colder due to their altitude, continue to accumulate snow, often resulting in impressive snowpacks ideal for winter sports enthusiasts.
When comparing January and February, the latter is often viewed as a bridge between the deep cold of mid-winter and the upcoming thaw of
March. Days in February gradually start to lengthen, providing a few additional minutes of sunshine, though the state still experiences limited sunlight, averaging just over 5 hours a day.
Regions like the Connecticut River Valley, which are slightly milder in winter compared to the mountainous areas, begin to show the earliest signs of transition with occasional days that are less harsh, though still well within the winter realm.
