Chewing on Some Weather Data

• filed under datapermalink

I had a few spare minutes this evening and with it being so dang hot this week, I wanted to pull some local weather data from NOAA and get an idea of how our temperatures have looked over time.

Everything I’ve crunched is in /misc/weather, including the Ruby scripts I used to manipulate the data. The JSON data behind the charts is in /resources/wxdata

I’ve turned the summaries into charts.
