Moab/Indian Creek questions

I'm planning a month long trip to the Indian Creek/Moab region next year. I want to come from 1st Feb to 1st March.

Questions....

1. Is it going to be ok weather and snow-wise? This is a big trip for me so I'm really keen to not come over in less than ideal conditions.

2. I'm from England, so cold temps are fine (I'm used to it!) but I obviously hate rain and am trying to avoid coming when there's loads of snowmelt coming down on the climbs. Does this happen much in the area? Or is it only rain that's a problem?

3. If February isn't perfect, when is the perfect season - i.e. little or no rain and temps of 5-20 deg celcius.

Cheers,

Tom

Push it out 2 or 3 weeks, arrive in mid/late February instead of the 1st.

It does rain & snow, but it dries out fast. It can be freeeezing at night and still comfortable to climb in the day. Bring a down jacket and shorts.

Have fun!
