I can't create visual content directly, but I can describe how to create a scatterplot using the provided snow data for Denver International Airport.

Here’s how you can create a scatterplot:

  1. Prepare Your Data: You'll be plotting the months on the x-axis and the corresponding snow totals on the y-axis.

    • Months (x-axis):

      • 1 (September)
      • 2 (October)
      • 3 (November)
      • 4 (December)
      • 5 (January)
      • 6 (February)
      • 7 (March)
      • 8 (April)
      • 9 (May)
      • 10 (June)
      • 11 (July)
      • 12 (August)

    • Snow Totals (y-axis):

      • 3.1, 13.5, 34, 12.6, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1.0, 4.0, 5.0, 7.0

  2. Create Axes:

    • Label the x-axis as "Month" and the y-axis as "Snow Total (inches)".

  3. Plot the Points:

    • For each month, plot the corresponding snow total. For instance:
      • September (1, 3.1)
      • October (2, 13.5)
      • November (3, 34)
      • December (4, 12.6)
      • January (5, 0)
      • February (6, 0)
      • March (7, 0)
      • April (8, 0)
      • May (9, 1.0)
      • June (10, 4.0)
      • July (11, 5.0)
      • August (12, 7.0)

  4. Connect the Points (if desired):

    • You can either leave the points unconnected for a true scatterplot or connect them to visualize trends.

  5. Add Titles and Labels:

    • Title your scatterplot something like "Monthly Snow Totals at Denver International Airport (Sept 2020 - Aug 2021)".
    • Ensure each axis is clearly labeled.

If you use a software tool (like Excel, Google Sheets, or specialized graphing software), you can input the data and create a scatterplot automatically. Simply select the data and choose the scatterplot option from the chart types available.
