What’s the temperature where we are? Using Google’s BigQuery API
In one homework assignment, students connected to Google’s BigQuery API to access a public dataset containing weather information collected by NOAA. They identified a weather station in the state or country in which they were currently residing, and plotted the average temperature by month in their location.
Here is similar plot for the class, grouping by each of the different weather stations we searched.
Dear March - Come in
by Emily Dickinson
Dear March - Come in -
How glad I am -
I hoped for you before -
Put down your Hat -
You must have walked -
How out of Breath you are -
Dear March, how are you, and the Rest -
Did you leave Nature well -
Oh March, Come right upstairs with me -
I have so much to tell -
I got your Letter, and the Birds -
The Maples never knew that you were coming -
I declare - how Red their Faces grew -
But March, forgive me -
And all those Hills you left for me to Hue -
There was no Purple suitable -
You took it all with you -
Who knocks? That April -
Lock the Door -
I will not be pursued -
He stayed away a Year to call
When I am occupied -
But trifles look so trivial
As soon as you have come
That blame is just as dear as Praise
And Praise as mere as Blame -
