The weather outside is frightening

This slapdash analysis gathers some data and visualizes it with a Python notebook, which has all the details and a few more fun maps.

The chances of cold, heat, and precipitation are fractions of days with low temperature under 0° C (32° F), high temperature over 30° C (86° F), and precipitation over one millimeter, respectively. The precipitation score may have issues. The scales on these maps go all the way from 0% to 100%, using the plasma color scale. Legends are ugly.

A location's score is the sum of the cold score, hot score, and distance of the precipitation score from the range 1/6 to 1/9. It's not quite a rate any more, just a badness score. The ""Most habitable"" map colors scores less than 1/4, and the ""Even slightly habitable"" map colors scores less than 3/5. Do you really want to live somewhere with a score over 60%?
