Plot Description:

This plot presents the yearly minimum temperature after the first spring temperature above a given value or the maximum temperature after the first fall temperature below a given value. The terms spring and fall are simply representing the first half and second half of the year respectively. So for example using the default plot options, this chart displays the maximum high temperature after the first fall season sub 32 low temperature and then the number of days that the high reached 60+ degrees until the end of each year.
