Materials: Map of the United States, with mean annual snowfall data for selected U.S. cities
Data source:
National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) - National Climatic
Data Center
This brief exercise examines average annual snowfall patterns across the United States. The
data have been derived from NOAA and are expressed in inches.
Please locate the two PDF files associated with this exercise. One document is a color-coded
map of the U.S. indicating the average annual snowfall figures, in inches, for selected and
(unlabeled) American cities. The other file contains a list of the cities displayed on the map,
along with each city's snowfall datum and the corresponding color on the map. (For instance,
San Francisco's average annual snowfall is 0 inches, and is indicated in red on both the map and
list.) Therefore, similarly to Mini-Research Exercise 1, using the map and the list of cities in
unison should allow the student to easily determine the name of each city on the map, along with
the matching figure.
Using the map provided for this exercise along with the various important concepts examined in.
Chapters 4 through 7, describe and explain the general geographical patterns of average annual
snowfall across the United States. As with the first mini-research exercise, the map clearly shows
many cities possessing high numbers while others have relatively low figures. Please do not
indicate and/or discuss each individual city/state displayed on the map; it is more appropriate to
use the cities/states only as examples. Sub-regions of the U.S. (e.g., the Pacific Northwest) with
alike data can be emphasized in the report as well.
Finally, there is no reason to cite any source
