Most years, February brings a gradual warming trend, and the fruit trees can start blooming anytime after the middle of the month. Other years, such as this one, winter can linger much longer.
For Wednesday, they are predicting a high of 29 deg. and a low of 9 deg. This is the lowest high temperature I can ever remember, and the 9 deg. low means it will get close to zero, and maybe slightly below, here in our frost pocket. I'll take some pictures of the frozen river and post them here.
But don't worry -- in 4 months we'll be complaining about the heat.
