The bar chart provides information about snow depth at a specific ski resort in New Zealand in 2010, 2011, and 2012.
Overall, there was an upwards trend in the change of snow depth in winter months throughout the period, while the reverse was true for spring months – February, March, and April. It is also evident that in spring, the reported centimeters of snow were far more in numbers in comparison to that of the winter.
Focusing first on smaller figures, snow depth hit a trough of only around 100 cm in November in all three years. Starting with nearly 130 cm in 2010, December witnessed a considerable decline to 70 cm after a year, right before seeing significant rise to 150 cm in 2012. A similar pattern can be observed in January for these years: increase from 150 cm to 175 cm, with decreasing to approximately 110 inbetween.
Regarding the months that underwent comparably bigger figures, the first two months of the spring experienced exactly the same pattern of reduction through 3-year period, the former accounting for 440 cm and the latter for 450 cm in 2010. Slightly decreasing to 400 cm after a year, the snow depth stood at a little over 350 cm at the end of the timeline. Having shown only around 400 cm at the start, April reported the biggest amount of snow in 2011, hitting a chart peak of 475 cm. April of 2012 was a year to see the dramatic drop to 300 cm.
