February was extraordinarily warm and dry. The average temperature was a 9.5 degree Fahrenheit departure above the 30 year average and was actually a half degree above the March average. Rainfall was just a third of normal. The effect of this very dry regime was mitigated by the fact that January liquid precipitation was well above normal and by the end of February the departure for the year remained 1.55 inch above normal. Only one day in February had measurable snow with 2.6 inches falling on the 16th. With snow cover in place, the low for the month was 14F on the 18th, just before a return to very warm temperatures.
