What February feels like
February is Fur Rendezvous — Rondy to everyone who lives here — with the outhouse races, the snowshoe softball, and the running of the reindeer downtown. The daylight gain is dramatic enough that people mention it to each other in the grocery line.
Winter is doing its thing: 13.4 in of snow in a typical February, with fresh snow on about 8 days. Nearly every night dips below freezing.
