I'll bet it will be COLD that time of year.

It certainly will be cold. What are your reasons for starting that early?

Probably avoiding valentines day at home.

If you start about a month later you will have plenty of company, I plan on going slow for the first few days, but my plan puts me to Katahdin in mid-August. I am going to sugguest, as many many others, you start later. It will, overall, be warmer, and you will be right in the thick of things are far as thru-hikers go. There are a lot of people starting the 1st of March if you are looking to find people to hike with.

However, I have not thru hiked, so take my advice second to those who have thru-hiked.

...It will, overall, be warmer...
It will be warmer, but only in comparison to Feb. temps. I started March 17 2006 and April 08 2007 and saw snow during both trips. However, I still would not consider starting in Feb, at least not until global warming is in full swing.
