February weather forecast
Maryland, USA

February continues the winter trend in Maryland, although it typically shows some signs of moderation compared to January. The temperatures still remain low, with nights often falling below 0°F (-17.8°C), but the frequency and intensity of such cold snaps may decrease slightly.

The western region of the state, particularly in areas such as Oakland, continues to experience severe cold and snow. Snowfall in February ranges from 5" (127mm) to 15" (381mm) on the eastern shore and from 30" (762mm) to 40" (1016mm) in the western highlands. These amounts are consistent with those in January, maintaining the state's reputation for snow-covered landscapes during winter.

The Appalachian Mountains continue to act as a barrier to arctic cold, warming the descending air on the eastern slopes. This warming effect, however, is often not sufficient to bring a significant rise in temperatures or a marked shift in weather patterns.

In comparison to the upcoming months of March and April, February's weather remains firmly within the winter spectrum. Roads may still be filled with slush, a mixture of snow and ice that can create hazardous driving conditions. Although the days gradually begin to lengthen, the sunlight remains weak, and outdoor activities are often limited by the cold and snow. The anticipation of spring's milder temperatures and the thawing of the landscape are still several weeks away.
