 | Title : Yearly COOP Avg Temps
 | Date  : 29 Jun 01:26 PM
 | Author: Daryl Herzmann
 | URL   : http://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/COOP/periods.phtml
 +----------------------------------------------

I have created an application which allows you to compute average
statewide temperatures for some time period of your choice from
the COOP network data.  This application allows you to ask such
questions as:

 - Which year had the warmest 10 thru 15 May period on record?

 - How did this year compare to other years for March?

Let me know if you have any suggestions for the app.  Adding
precipitation is something I would like to do, but isn't 
straight forward to do with my dataset at this time.
