My research is about different cities in the United States and my school Main Street all within a latitude of 39-42 degrees north of the equator. I used the cities Breckenridge, Sandusky, Chicago, Fort Wayne, Park City, Pittsburgh, and my school Main Street. I got snowfall data for the cities and my school (in inches) and compared their elevation and amount of snow they got for the year of 2018, to see if elevation does affect snowfall. According to my data it shows that elevation does have an effect on snowfall.
