What February feels like

February holds the same snow as January with more daylight and fewer days of falling weather, which is why the ski and skate crowd targets it. Whiteface has its best base of the season now, and the Presidents' Day stretch is the one week the village genuinely fills.

Winter is doing its thing: 21.0 in of snow in a typical February, with fresh snow on about 10 days. Nearly every night dips below freezing.
