Rivals January as coldest month of the year and most people just wait for the days to go by into March and the beginning of the thaw to warmer weather. It's 28 days because even the ancients hated the month and wanted to get it over with.
January sucks but at you at least start off on the right foot after Christmas and New Years festivities and the most depressing part of January is knowing that the next month is February.

February is brutally cold, family day is the lamest long weekend of the year, darkness going to and coming home from work, overall it’s a dumpster of a month. The best part about February in Calgary is leaving Calgary on vacation.
February sucks

This year we got smart and booked 2 trips to FL and 1 trip to Playa in Jan and Feb. I find the best way to deal with the dark and depressing weeks of Canadian winter is to get the hell out for a while.

April is the second worst month. I swear when I moved here in 1993, April we'd start seeing leaves and flowers but that's almost always May now. It makes sense since October seems much warmer than it used to be. It's like the weather shifted a month in the last 32 years. April somehow seems colder than March, though I am sure it isn't.
But yeah, February is the worst because of the tease, but also usually the worst cold snap too.
November also sucks, but there is much more going on in the sports world so much more easily distracted.

January and February being the coldest months means February becomes a grind where you just get absolutely sick of the dark, windy -20C stretches that roll through.
March has the return of sunlight with the time change, and the most snow. Sunny snow days are just awesome.
My runner up is April. Sounds like spring right? Not even close. Snain, dirty, brown landscape and nothing good but optimism that May is coming.
June is the best. Blossoms make it look and smell amazing everywhere, green, daylight, the smell of fresh rain. Just awesome.

February is the bottom of the curve.

The longer I live here the more and more I hate winter and February is the most wintery of the months.

February coming in strong
It's turning into a landslide Fuzz
