February 2011

February weather diary. February is a transition month here, but still wintry by our standards. Days are cooler than you might thing in south GA, being moderated by the cool ocean. Freezes are half as frequent as in January, however. And by late in the month, even afternoon temperatures start to rise enough to notice.
