Will Minnesota Get A Big Snowstorm In February?

Of course, a snowstorm in January or February is not uncommon, especially in northern Minnesota. It's just a way of life.

However, we've had a few mild winters in a row. This winter has been a bit more active but we've still only seen one or two major snowstorms, with a potential snowstorm in the cards for later this month.

While I am not even sure I believe in their methodology, I do like to see what they are predicting for each month ahead for the Northland. Call it a curiosity thing! Sometimes their predictions come true and other times they do not.

I turned to the Old Farmer's Almanac for February to see what could possibly be in store. February is typically one of the snowiest, coldest months of the winter season so I was a little nervous. Here's what to know.

Old Farmer's Almanac Previews February Weather In The Northland

I will start with some good news: there's not too much going on next month, at least if you believe in their methodology. According to their prediction for the month, there aren't any big snowstorms in sight either. I hope that comes true!

The month might also be warmer than usual, with an average temperature about five degrees above average! That's not really saying month considering how cold February is but again, I will take it.

What We Can Expect With Weather & Temperatures In February

According to the Old Farmer's Almanac, the first part of the month will be very cold, between February 1st and 6th. Things will turn more mild from the 7th through mid-month, before temperatures turn chilly again for the second half of the month.

In terms of snow, we will see snow for the first six days of the month, with more mild conditions leading to the middle of February. For the second half of the month, we will see a mix of rain and snow. It looks like the weather won't ruin any Valentine's Day related plans.
