What February feels like
February keeps the snow arriving while the afternoons stretch noticeably, and locals treat that as the turn. Casco Bay is at its coldest now, and the mailboat run out to the islands is the cheapest good tour in Maine when the deck isn't iced over.
Winter is doing its thing: 16.6 in of snow in a typical February, with fresh snow on about 7 days. Nearly every night dips below freezing.
Can you swim?
The ocean runs about 36° — frigid — locals in wetsuits only.
