Can you do Vancouver and Anchorage please?  Vancouver; site I'm using only had data since 2007; doesn't cover non-American cities well. So looks a bit random looking.  Anchorage, I was getting an odd looking result and then tweaked the binning boundaries, think it looks right. Data since 1953, gridded by 2°F. It gets much darker in the summer months as the variability is much lower, so each 2°F range happens much more often.  |

If you watch the animation carefully, you'll notice the variability goes way does way down from March to May; with much colder than mean temperatures becoming very rare. I had a shoutbox conversation with ilmc90 alex992 and boombo ? on Thompson Pass' snowfall dropping from decently high to 0 from early May to late May; guessing something the above is happening. Unfortunately, Thompson Pass doesn't have hourly data, only daily so can't make a similar plot. Valdez does, though; maybe making a chart only with hours where there's precipitation for Valdez could give some hints? wrcc.dri.edu/cgi-bin/cliMAIN.pl?ak9146 |

Interesting. The first reliable influx of mild Pacific air starts in early April, and April/May are usually the driest and sunniest months in Anchorage at least. It's not necessarily moist Pacific air though. That doesn't start till July.  |
