Thx Tom. Will look at this. To you, Roger, and  JC, Do we have project milestones (schedule) set? What is timing for next steps and when will we file?

I am attaching two maps of our AVA region from Teresa.  They both include Growing Degree Days based on 10°C, (50°F).  The second map includes the 1200 ft elevation contour.  Here is her explanation of the maps:  

I calculated GDD for each point for each year (1988-2018) and then averaged.  Points are ~1082 ft apart and make a grid that covers all  six of the Digital Elevation Model tiles that I needed to cover SWWA.  Downloading climate PRISM data at individual points meant I could include data through the last year the PRISM had stable data, which was 2018.  Jones used 30 year normals which is a dataset that goes until 2010 or 2011.  Since the last few years have been the hottest on record, I wanted to make sure I used the most up to date data I could.  What I can't do, at the moment, is show data averaged from any other decades.  For example, to change it from 1988-2018 to say 2008-2018 I would have to run all 350,000+ files through my macro again.  The macro can handle about 3000 files a day which means a lot of time. 

The attached file is slightly altered, and includes the 1200' contour lines.  I added all 1200' lines including the "islands", so sorry about how busy it appears.

Here is a look back at 2019 GDD across the region.  I'm working to adjust the 1200'  boundary line on the west to follow the > 1800 GDD (light yellow) band.  In a good year that should be the limit of viticulture.  QGIS has a bug that makes editing the boundary a real pain.  Once I figure out another way to generate it, we should be good to finalize the petition.
