February in Colorado typically brings to an end an extended period when average temperatures are at their lowest. Winter begins to loosen its grip and temperatures get warmer but precipitation is not a particularly common event during the month.

Probably one of the biggest question marks is whether or not we will see some help with the snow situation.  While mountain snowpack is not in too bad of shape, Denver’s seasonal snowfall to date is well below normal. February is only our sixth snowiest month so it may not provide much help on the precipitation month.

Temperatures however do usually see a nice rebound during the month. Average high temperatures climb from an average of 44 degrees at the start to 50 degrees by the end of February.
