...COLD AND DRIER THAN NORMAL FEBRUARY...
THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY FEATURED VERY COLD THAT WAS BOOKENDED BY
RELATIVELY WARM AIR. THE WARMEST DAY OF THIS MONTH WAS WHEN A HIGH
TEMPERATURE OF 57 WAS REACHED, WHICH OCCURRED ON FEBRUARY 3RD,
FEBRUARY 25TH, AND FEBRUARY 28TH. THE COLDEST DAY OF THIS MONTH WAS
FEBRUARY 18TH WHEN A LOW TEMPERATURE OF 3 DEGREES WAS REACHED. THIS
DAY HAD AN AVERAGE TEMPERATURE DEPARTURE OF 19.5 DEGREES BELOW
AVERAGE. THE STRETCH OF DAYS FROM FEBRUARY 4TH TO FEBRUARY 22ND,
WHICH HAD HIGH TEMPERATURES BELOW 40 DEGREES, WAS THE SECOND LONGEST
SUCH STRETCH ON RECORD IN FEBRUARY. THIS PROLONGED STRETCH OF COLD
AIR ALLOWED WINTER STORMS TO BRING DOSES OF WINTRY MIX TO THE AREA.
THERE WAS A RUN OF 9 CONSECUTIVE DAYS WHERE SNOW WAS OBSERVED FROM
FEBRUARY 12TH TO FEBRUARY 20TH. FREEZING RAIN AND ICING CONCERNS
WERE PLENTIFUL DURING THIS TIME AS WELL. DESPITE THIS 9 DAY STRETCH
WITH MEASURABLE SNOW, FORT WAYNE ONLY HAD ONE DAY WHERE THE TOTAL
SNOW ACCUMULATIONS SURPASSED 1 INCH (ON FEBRUARY 16TH) AND SNOW
DEPTH NEVER SURPASSED 1 INCH DURING THIS TIMEFRAME EITHER. OVERALL
THE AVERAGE TEMPERATURE FOR THE MONTH WAS 27.9 DEGREES, WHICH IS 0.8
DEGREES BELOW NORMAL. FEBRUARY 2025 RANKS AS THE 67TH COLDEST ON
RECORD.
DESPITE BOUTS OF WINTRY WEATHER THIS MONTH, FORT WAYNE ONLY HAD
ABOUT HALF OF THEIR AVERAGE SNOWFALL IN FEBRUARY. FORT WAYNE
RECORDED 3.4 INCHES OF SNOW, WHICH IS 4.4 INCHES BELOW NORMAL. FOR
SNOWFALL, FEBRUARY 2025 RANKS AS THE 36TH LEAST SNOWY ON RECORD.
TOTAL PRECIPITATION FINISHED BELOW NORMAL AS WELL WITH ONLY 1.14
INCHES MEASURED, WHICH IS 0.92 INCHES BELOW NORMAL. FOR TOTAL
PRECIPITATION, FORT WAYNE HAD THE 33RD DRIEST FEBRUARY ON RECORD.
NO RECORDS WERE SET FOR THIS MONTH.
