Plot Description:

This plot presents aggregate statistics by year for a date period of your choice. You can either set an explicit date period or make the end date based on the first date below a given low temperature threshold. If your period crosses a year bounds, the plotted year represents the year of the start date of the period.

This autoplot is specific to data from COOP stations, a similiar autoplot #140 exists for automated stations.

A quorum of at least 90% of the days within the choosen period must have data in order to be included within the plot.
