The bar chart illustrates snow depth (cm) in a specific ski resort located in New Zealand from 2010 to 2012. Overall, snow depth sharply increased by the end of winter and beginning of spring. At the beginning, the third year had the deepest snow, while the second year had the opposite. However, in last month, the second year’s snow was the deepest, whereas the third year displayed the reverse.
From the start, in November, the snow depth was relatively higher than over next three months. The figure for the first year was 100 cm, and the third year was slightly higher than that, nearly 102 cm. But, in 2012, the total depth accounted for less than 100, during the same month. Over the next two months, the same trend occurred, making the third year the dominant and the second year placed below, constituting for around 170 cm and 120 cm respectively.
In contrast, after January, there was an upward trend for 2010, which had the deepest snow in the region, about 430 cm. Noticeably, in February, there was a disparity between 2011 and 2012, which lead to 2011 positioned higher than 2012. Next month, there were no noticeable changes, despite a slight increase for 2010, when depth reached 450 cm. When April arrived, the snow depth in 2011 peaked at approximately 470 cm, that was the highest number over the whole period. While the figure of snow depth in 2010 decreased, it still remained higher than that of 2012, accounting for more than 400 cm.
