What February feels like

February is the quietest month on the park's calendar and the guided snowcoach runs to Old Faithful are going full swing. Bison cluster around the thermal areas because the ground is warm there, and you learn to read the frost on their fur and the bare patches where they have been lying.

Winter is doing its thing: 11.5 in of snow in a typical February, with fresh snow on about 9 days. Nearly every night dips below freezing.
