# Loading the DAILY precipitation data at SanMartino
data(SanMartinoPPts)
x <- SanMartinoPPts

# Subsetting 'x' to its first three months (Jan/1921 - Mar/1921)
x <- window(x, end="1921-12-31")

shiftyears(ltime=time(x), lstart.month=1)

# Starting in April:
shiftyears(ltime=time(x), lstart.month=4)
