Minnesota Snow Predictions for February

NOAA has their predictions out for February for the entire country.

In Minnesota precipitation-wise, they're predicting that we'll likely have an average amount of precipitation this month. Most of Iowa is in the same boat as well and about half of Wisconsin.

A small chunk of eastern Iowa and the eastern half of Wisconsin are predicted to have below-average precipitation.

Precipitation means snow, right? Well, maybe not.

Minnesota Temperature Predictions for February

As for temperature, NOAA is predicting that we'll have above-average temperatures for February. The same goes for all of Iowa and Wisconsin. So that precipitation might be rain and not snow. How weird is that?

I know we all complain about the cold, I did plenty of complaining that one week we had below-zero temperatures, but this is kind of messed up. We should be dealing 20s or 30s and snow on the ground in February.
