What February feels like
Late February is when the camellias at Middleton Place take over and the garden crowd starts arriving ahead of the main season. It is a fine month for walking the Battery at sunset, cool enough that you make it the whole way around.
Expect about 5 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around.
Can you swim?
The ocean runs about 54° — frigid — locals in wetsuits only.
