February 9, 2025 Sunday Winter Weather

Arctic cold pool finally dumps out of Canada and Montana

What the month did

February 2025 was the 56th-warmest February in the 132-year national record (1895–2026), at 34.7°F against a 1991–2020 normal of 35.6°F (-0.9°F).

February 2025 was the 56th-wettest February in the 132-year national record (1895–2026), at 2.2in against a 1991–2020 normal of 2.1in (+0.0in).

NOAA/NCEI Climate at a Glance, contiguous United States. This is the observed record for the month, not a score of anything said in this piece — the forecast ledger begins 2026-08-17 and cannot reach earlier posts.

Hopefully you’re enjoying the Super Bowl, which is indoors in New Orleans. However, if the game were in any city outdoors this evening, while it might be cold, the weather would be tolerable for February 9th. Some scattered showers attached to a front sagging through the Gulf Coast, sadly wiping out my 70s here in Atlanta. Light snow showers into northern New England, but nothing impactful.

Colder air across the Great Lakes will mean Lake Effect snow showers during the next 24-48 hours. HRRR 18z had about 2-feet coming off Superior, and maybe 1-foot off Ontario.
