Answer 1 :
its actaully pretty warm and humid--i went to pre-katrina mardi gras in february and thats how it felt---many people wore shorts and t-shirts
Answer 2 :
it is usually hot there and if it is even cool you can still were shorts or something there is so many people that that the body heat makes you hot a lil and if you go there for mardi gras you will be partyin way to much to worry about if it is hot or cold
Answer 3 :
Mardi Gras Day in 2009 is February 24th, which means the Carnival season ends on that day and there are parades for about 12 days before the 24th. Mid-February in New Orleans is not predicable, but is very unlikely to be "hot". Pack for cool (not cold) weather, with a mix of S/S & L/S shirts, sweaters/sweatshirts, and a light jacket. Check the weather the day before you leave home and make any packing adjustments needed. Go to www.mardigras.com for more information on Carnival in NOLA, and the FAQ section may be particularly useful. Hope you have a great time!

Answer 8 :
well you won't need your show shoes but you just never can tell. bring some shorts and some blue jeans and a light jacket then no matter what you'll be ready. If on the outside chance it gets cold you can layer up. but you can leave the tire chains at home :)~
Answer 9 :
It can be a bit hit or miss from 40s-70s so I would plan accordingly. Layers are usually good. http://www.cityrating.com/citytemperature.asp?City=New+Orleans
