Found this map to be interesting because we are so close to Christmas. Pennsylvania, where we live, appears to be in mostly an 11-25 percent chance class for having a white christmas. Just at a glance the bands of probability are fairly even across the nation until you hit the Rockies. I'm thinking this would be classified as a Dasymetric thematic map like the plant zone map I blogged about in November. Here is a link to a description this type of map. There are other interesting maps realating to the holidays in this blog where I found the above map. I plan on maintaining this blog beyond this class assignment as primarily a hiking blog and secondarily about hiking GPS units. Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone!
