The Data for My Project

This week I dedicated myself to find the data for my project. First of all I found a good website, http://countrystudies.us/united-states/weather/, which helped me to find the average temperatures for all of the US cities, I wanted to use for my project. Then I listed a couple of the cities I wanted to use for my project, each one with its High and Low average temperature. After doing that, I need to know the longitude and latitude of each city, so i searched in google for a good website, http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0001796.html, this one listed a couple of the cities I needed, so then I had to do a specific search and found this website, http://www.infoplease.com/atlas/latitude-longitude.html. In this one, you could search for the city you wanted to, and it would tell you the exact longitude and latitude. When I had all the data for the project, I went into word and created a Data Table with all of the numbers, and names. For now the project has been easy, and Ive been able to do it quickly but efficiently.
