From WXXI Radio (Rochester, NY):

Cornell University is offering a new, interactive, online tool to help people track climate change in their own counties.
Using data from 1950 to 2013, the website tracks trends in temperatures, precipitation, and information about the growing season.
It was developed for farmers, but Michael Hoffman, executive director of the Cornell Institute for Climate Smart Solutions, says it has applications beyond that.
