The rest of the family guesses the previous day’s high and low temperatures for the state and the nation along with where these extreme temperatures occurred. As the seasons change, we change the location of our guesses and the temperatures themselves. Curious about the spatial pattern of these high and low temperatures, I created a geodatabase of the January 2009 extremes, other data, and a lesson in the ArcLessons library, ready for you to analyze it, on:http://edcommunity.esri.com/arclessons/lesson.cfm?id=408

Does this pattern of high and low extremes, symbolized by red H ovals and blue L ovals, surprise you? What difference does proximity to the ocean have on extremes during different seasons of the year? Why?

Why are the coldest temperatures in Alaska not in the far north, but in the interior? Why did they occur not in the highest elevations, but in the lowlands? [...]
