February weather forecast
Wisconsin, USA

February continues the winter season in Wisconsin but usually with slightly milder temperatures compared to January. In the northern counties, temperatures can range from -20°F (-28.9°C) to 20°F (-6.7°C). In the southern parts, the typical temperature range is from 13°F (-10.6°C) to 35°F (1.7°C). While it remains the heart of winter, February generally offers slightly longer daylight hours compared to the previous month.

Snowfall remains a dominant feature in February, albeit somewhat less in volume than January. The northern highlands and western uplands still receive considerable amounts, adding to the seasonal totals. Lake-effect snow, influenced by Lake Superior and Lake Michigan, often adds to snowfall totals in nearby regions.

February does not hold any records for extreme temperatures but stands as one of the coldest months, second only to January. Couderay, which recorded Wisconsin's all-time lowest temperature, does not experience much relief in February either, with temperatures remaining significantly below freezing.

Fog, although less frequent than in January, still occurs often enough to be noteworthy, particularly during early mornings. The snow cover duration in the north remains extended, with most areas near Lake Superior keeping their snowy blanket, while the southern regions begin to see a gradual reduction in snow cover as the month progresses.

Though February marks the continuation of challenging weather conditions in Wisconsin, it serves as a transition toward the milder conditions of late winter and early spring, particularly in the southern regions. It is a month still very much characterized by cold and snow but with hints of an impending change.
