Mathews in coastal Virginia has average temperatures in the 28°F (-2.2°C) to 50°F (10°C) in February.
Blizzards occur rarely but stall normal life due to poor visibility and heavy snowfall. Driving conditions are challenging with slippery roads due to sleet and ice. The ocean waters are cold, but the beaches see a fair number of people. Whale watching is popular during the winter when the humpbacks arrive on the Virginia coast. Expect cold fronts, especially in the mountains, and a warmer southern part of the state than the north.
