What February feels like
February is when the snow piles up in earnest, and Manhattan turns it to slush by lunchtime. Locals get through on cheap theater tickets and long lunches; if you can land here right after a fresh fall, Central Park before the paths are trampled is worth the cold hands.
Winter is doing its thing: 10.1 in of snow in a typical February, with fresh snow on about 3 days. about 18 nights dip below freezing.
