Some Oregon monthly extremes

Recommended Posts

I'm playing around on xmACIS2 (http://xmacis.rcc-acis.org/), which is a great resource for all sorts of weather stat crunching. Using the "multi-station extremes" feature, I sorted the top 5 values across all Oregon stations for several different monthly statistics. For each category, these are the 5 stations that hold the highest/lowest records across Oregon. So only one entry per station in each category (otherwise, we'd probably see Crater Lake make more than one appearance on the snowfall list). This is across all Oregon stations available in NOAA's ACIS database, including all periods of record both active and inactive. Enjoy!
