The fourth grade class at Winifred School thinks El Nino will affect the
results of Journey North's tulip study this year. After finding the
monthly average temperature and precipitation for 96 and 97 we concluded
the months of November and December of 97 were unusually dry and warm. We
looked at the national trend of weather changes due to El Nino. We
believed this caused a warming of our weather also and this could
contribute to the early emergence of our Journey North tulips.
