I know some of these statistics are out there on the internet, but searching for them takes time (even in a world with LLMs), so compiling them here.
Snow Depth Statistics
Only average snow depth is available online, but averages obscure variation.
Temperature Anomaly Statistics
Temperature anomaly plots are not easily accessible online, so this puts them in a single place 1.
Dew Point Anomaly Statistics
Dew point temperature measures atmospheric moisture content and follows a clean seasonal cycle 2.
Precipitation Anomaly Statistics
Precipitation anomaly plots are also not easily accessible online, so this puts them in a single place 3.
Wind Anomaly Statistics
Wind anomaly plots are built from hourly wind speeds, using rolling sums of cube-root daily mean anomalies 4.

A periodic LOESS smoother is fit to daily mean temperature climatology over 50 years. ↩

A periodic LOESS smoother is fit to daily mean dew point temperature derived from hourly observations. ↩

In this case, we favour comparing N-day sums against the climatological average of N-day sums. ↩
-
Daily mean wind speeds are compared to a day-of-year climatology after a cube-root transform and summed over rolling windows.
