What February feels like

February matches January for snowfall and adds the space-saver ritual: dig out a parking spot and a lawn chair holds it until the plows come back. School vacation week fills the Museum of Science and the aquarium with every kid in eastern Massachusetts.

Winter is doing its thing: 14.4 in of snow in a typical February, with fresh snow on about 6 days. about 22 nights dip below freezing.
