Number of days of 1-inch or more snowfall



Dr. Bishop: Okay, what did you come up with?
(select all that apply)
The number of days with snowfall greater than 1 inches is increasing.
Snowfall for the period 1975-1990 remained relatively constant.
There were 2 days with 1 inch or more of snowfall in 1967/68.
1951/52 was the year with the highest number of days with 1 inch or more of snowfall.
Dr. Bishop says:Close
Right. I agree with your interpretation.

Not Exactly; you may have overlooked:
  • The number of days since 2000 does show an increasing trend, the year-to-year variation makes it difficult to make a strong conclusion like this, we need a few more years to see if the trend is a real one.
  • This figure provides information on the number of days when the snowfall amount was greater than 1 inch, it does not provide information on the total amount of snow.That was from another figure.
  • In 1967/68 there were only 2 days when the snowfall was greater than 1 inch.
  • The year with the highest number of days with snowfall greater than 1 inch was 2007/08.

No way! If you can't see the trends here I don't think you are experienced enough for this job. Let's go talk to Dr. Snow to see if we can get you some remedial training.
