#' United States Weather Data
#'
#' This data contains weather data from 8 weather stations across the northern
#'  tier of the United States for 2 winter seasons.
#'
#' @source National Centers for Environmental Information
#' @format A dataframe with 3,400 rows and 34 columns:
#' \describe{
#'    \item{station}{Station id}
#'    \item{date}{Date of weather observation}
#'    \item{dewpoint_avg}{Average dewpoint for the day, in Fahrenheit}
#'    \item{drybulbtemp_avg}{Average temperature for the day, in Fahrenheit}

#'    percent}
#'    \item{sealevelpressure_avg}{Average sea level pressure, in inches of mercury}
#'    \item{stationpressure_avg}{Average station pressure, in inches of mercury}
#'    \item{wetbulbtemp_avg}{Average wet bulb temperature, in Fahrenheit}
#'    \item{windspeed_avg}{Average daily wind speed, in miles per hour}
#'    \item{cooling_degree_days}{The number of degrees that a day's average
#'       temperature is above 65 degrees Fahrenheit}
#'    \item{departure_from_normal_temperature}{The difference in observed from
#'    normal temperature, in Fahrenheit}
#'    \item{heating_degree_days}{The number of degrees that a day's average

#'    \item{drybulbtemp_min}{The minimum observed dry bulb temperature, in
#'    Fahrenheit}
#'    \item{peak_wind_direction}{Wind direction when wind speed was the highest,
#'    in degrees. For example, 0 degrees means a north wind, 90 degrees an
#'    east wind, 180 degrees a south wind, and 270 degrees a west wind}
