When traveling in the backcountry during winter time, updating yourself on current and recent weather data is important to understand likely avalanche danger.

This is a repository of Jupyter Notebooks to analyze recent weather data using the NWAC Data Portal.

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

$ jupyter notebook WeatherData.ipynb

There are two kinds of visualizations

This will plot vectors of X=degree and Y=magnitude. These plots can be animated to show the recent trends over time.

This notebook will plot wind direction and magnitude so you can visualize what aspects might have windloaded snow.

These graphs will graph multiple weather stations on a single graph using a common attribute, like Temperature.

Creating graphs like Cumulative Precipitation should allow you to correlate snow depth and relative size of layers.
