Ice Cream Weather

I thought of this project because my grandparents own Baskin Robbins Ice Cream and I go there everyday. I also have the Mesonet available to me. I took the average gallons of ice cream sold for 1996 to 1998.

I took the average temperatures for 1996 to 1998. I divided them into two kinds of months, cold and cool months and hot and warm months. I averaged them and compared it. My results were that more people eat ice cream in the hot to warm months than cold to cool months.

My teacher Mrs. Painter helped me with this project and I would like to thank her. I would do another Mesonet project because I enjoy seeing what the weather has done and is doing.
