At least in the northwestern part of the US, it seems the weather can turn completely around real quickly.... I was there in September/October, and after a few weeks of glorious sunshine and warmth, it went straight to almost wintry conditions within just 2-3 days. In fact some inland areas, especially in the Rockies, did get plenty of snow, and it was a record-early start for their skiing season!
So then Canada... and February... hmmm, while it could probably be do-able somehow, it surely won´t be easy, and your gonna need to prepare yourself and the bike thoroughly, and also be very flexible with your plans. Would it be enjoyable, I really don´t know, especially if you´ve got no previous winter riding experience. In my home country some people ride all year round, but it´s mostly just commuting and other very short rides (in fact I´ve done a bit of that myself as well).... but really "touring" in the wintertime would still be a whole different ballgame.
