Not necessarily. Average high in Feb in Rutland is exactly 32. While the low is way under that,a freeze refree cycle of day and night could be possible for stretches of February. https://www.usclimatedata.com/climate/rutland/vermont/united-states/usvt0205

What's more important than the average temperature though will be the standard deviation. January ended up having an average monthly temp within 1 degree of the average for Portland, ME, but there probably wasn't a single day that actually was the average temperature. It was either 3 degrees or 53 degrees.

Some stability in February would be nice. Ideally stability at under 32 plz.

Yes, but Rutland is also generally warmer than the mountains themselves anyway... 32 in Rutland could be 28 at the base of K and 24 at the summit for average highs (just picking somewhat random numbers here...not saying that's what they actually are).

Had to laugh at this Bretton Woods snow report this afternoon warning of new snow.
Please note, due to snowfall, although the groomers will be out tonight, there may be fresh powder on top of cords the groomers put down.

Oh no it might be perfect velvet groomer conditions!

I'm heading down to Brooklyn this weekend... :)
Actually I'll probably just stay home and ride and talk my girlfriend into coming up north..
I have a feeling it's going to be good -this kind of snow fills all the tree "lines" in the woods(that Hunter doesn't have) very nicely..

18z GFS would spare all northernmost areas from rain on Sunday DAX, n.VT, n.NH, ME, etc.... Really dancing on a fault-line though, so hopefully the cold trend continues.
