Temperatures for the month averaged about a degree below normal at my site (2.5 degrees below normal at Winnipeg airport) with no above freezing temperatures all month. The month was characterized by generally colder than normal temperatures especially in the middle of the month during a 3 day cold snap that saw temperatures fall into the minus 30s and windchills in the minus 40s.. values not experienced this winter. The month was very quiet weatherwise with only 3 main snow events for the month and a monthly total of about 19 cm.. just slighly above the average of 14 cm for February.. generally the least snowy of the winter months in Winnipeg. All in all.. a seasonably cold and quiet winter month in Winnipeg.
