USDA blindERS misranks California counties on the Natural Amenities Scale

Last week the Washington Post posted an awesome article and maps entitled "Every county in America, ranked by scenery and climate." It includes a very cool graphic that shows each county rank as a mouseover. It also contains separate maps for each amenity used to create the overall index: average January temperature, average January days of sun, low winter-summer temperature gap, low average July humidity, topography scale, and water area as a proportion of the County.
