Independent+Study

For my independent study I am going to find out why there is so much more snow this year than last year. Here are some questions my class and I came up with:

Me-What are the dates that it snowed last year and this year?-no snow in dec. 2008, this year: dec. 18, 19, jan. 30, feb.

Me-Why is there more snow this year than last year? Maybe: (does it even have to do with global warming?) Nicolas: Have there been bigger snowstorms in the past 20 years?-yes
 * more global warming this year
 * more global warming last year

Celine: Was the last time we had this much snow really 13 years ago?

Nicolas: What's the most snow Crozet has ever had?

Adriana- How much snow did we have in 1999?

Celine: How much snow have we had over the last 13 years?

Adriana- What will the snow be like in 2011? Maybe: Toria- Why do you think it was so warm in November, and so cold now?
 * probably not too much. we had a lot this year, so I think it will be rare.

Toria- Do you think having all of the warm weather in November makes us have more cold weather now?

Emmy-Will we have a cool summer? Maybe:
 * probably not because we had such a rare winter, I bet it will be a really hot summer
