February weather forecast
Idaho, USA

February in Idaho marks the latter phase of winter, and while it maintains the cold signature of January, subtle changes begin to emerge as the state " towards spring. Temperatures generally see a slight increase, yet remain firmly in the winter spectrum.

Areas like the Bitterroot Range and Clearwater Mountains, which are snow-draped in January, continue to be enveloped in white but might experience lesser snowfall as compared to the previous month. Snow depth in higher elevations, however, can still be substantial, given the accumulation from earlier winter months. Mullan Pass, which is notable for its extensive winter snowfall, usually sees its snow depths peak around this time, given the combined accumulation from both January and February.

In terms of cities, Boise, which is representative of many urban areas in the state, sees temperatures ranging from the mid to high 20s°F, a slight increase from January. But this doesn't mean that cold snaps are off the table. Sudden drops in temperature can still occur, especially in the central and eastern regions, which are farther from the Pacific's moderating influence.

Contrasting February with March, the latter often carries a more pronounced hint of the impending spring. Days start getting longer, and while snow remains in the forecast, especially for higher elevations, lower areas might begin to witness the first signs of thawing.

February's skies in the western parts, influenced by the Pacific Ocean, can be a mix of cloudy days interspersed with clear, crisp winter skies. Fog, which is a prominent feature of January mornings, gradually starts to dissipate but can still be observed near water bodies and low valleys. As a winter month, February in Idaho is a blend of enduring cold, reduced snowfall, and the earliest whispers of the approaching spring.
