What February feels like
Wherever Mardi Gras falls, the two weeks before it own the city — parade routes, ladders on the neutral ground, and no chance of parking anywhere near St. Charles. Locals dress in layers under the costume, because a parade night can go from pleasant to shivering by the third krewe.
Expect about 6 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. The air runs dry — whatever the thermometer says, it wears easy.
