I love this presentation. Do you keep a running spreadsheet for each province and then graph that? I couldn’t find much on EC that graphs out a series like this. I’m just curious what these will look like after the cold 2013 spring and was hoping to produce my own?

  Every month I append the data from the monthly summary EC presents to my datafile and then work off that.
  
  Here is an example of a monthly summary for just BC:
