Snow Visualization

This projects aims to visualize different states' snow depth data over time. It was designed as a practice to get more comfortable with Python data manipulation and MatPlotLib.

The project is broken down into two classes:

• The DataExtractor class queries the AWS MySQL weather database I created for a previous project (a full-stack web application to visualize all sorts of weather data). It extracts snow depth data and writes to a CSV file (selecting by the border of the state(s) of interest)
• The PlotGenerator class leverages MatPlotLib's animation methods to create a moving GIF, showing snow accumulation over time

Here are some examples I have generated so far:
