Using factors in R to create a new calendar and see how much snow do we get in Michigan (CC238)

Did there seem to be more or less snow than normal last year in Michigan? How about where you live? In this Code Club, Pat shows you how you can use tools from the tidyverse like dplyr's group_by and summarize and joins and ggplot2's geom_line, theme, and scale functions to answer these and other important questions. He does all this using local weather data downloaded from NOAA in RStudio with a lot of help from the tidyverse You can find my blog post for this episode at https://www.riffomonas.org/code_club/2022-08-11-snow. #ggplot2 #dplyr #R #Rstudio #Rstats Want more practice on the concepts covered in Code Club?
