What is the weather like in Washington DC in late february?

Question

Planning a trip there and I would like to visit during the a less busy time. Would this be an appropriate time to visit if I am going to be walking 90% of the time outside (will there be snow?).

Is early March a busy time for tourism? Sorry for so many questions but I appreciate the help!

Answer 1

February can be miserably blinking cold.  It's also when we get the most snow.  I spend as much time indoors in January and February, as they are the most unpleasant months.

If you're going to be walking a lot, try coming in April, when the weather is still a bit chilly, but starting to warm up a bit.

Answer 2

Good time to visit as there are not so many tourists around but wrap up warm! It can be very cold at that time of year. Snow is possible but doubtful be wrapped up against the frost or cold winds which are chilling.

Answer 3

It would be still very cold. Until the middle of April, Washington remains cold and windy.
