Sunny Skies Ahead? Farmers’ Almanac’s February Outlook in Sioux Falls
South Dakota was pretty lucky for the first few weeks of winter, but now it's back in a big way. With two giant storms in a week, many in the Mount Rushmore State are already hoping for an early spring.
According to the Farmers' Almanac, an abundance of sunny skies and warmer temperatures may be on the horizon in the month of February.
The Farmers' Almanac has been a trusted source of information for almost as long as the U.S. has been around. It was founded in 1918 and has been a staple for Rural Americans for over two hundred years. Not only does it feature tips on farming, cooking, conservation, and gardening, but it's perhaps best known for its long-term weather predictions.
The Almanac has its predictions for nearly every part of the U.S. ready and here's what it says about Sioux Falls, regarding February:
| Dates | Weather Conditions |
|---|---|
| Feb 1-8 | Snowy periods, bitter cold |
| Feb 9-13 | Flurries, turning milder |
| Feb 14-18 | Periods of rain and snow, turning colder |
| Feb 19-22 | Sunny, chilly |
| Feb 23-29 | Periods of rain and snow, turning colder |
| February | temperature 8° (4° below avg.) precipitation 2" (1" above avg.) |
As you can see, February has a little bit of everything. Sure there will be some periods of bitter cold and snow, but also some sunshine and warmer temps throughout the month.
