Is the weather going to be permissible for a gondola ride in Venice? I have checked on the weather averages and it seems decent enough but anyone have any real world experience on this?? What do you think about Ravenna?

It will be cold but yes you will be able to do it.

I was in Venice in mid February 2009, my last day there was the first day of Carnevale and it was also Valentine's Day. I believe the temps were in the 40s. I wore a regular- DC area- winter coat and it was fine...didn't go for a gondola ride but I believe they did have blankets in the ones I saw. I did go on a gondola ride in September and then the weather was perfect and so was that day. :) I would recommend selecting a gondola ride that takes you on the back canals...probably less windy and definitley a lot nicer than floating on the Grand Canal.
