Temperature should play a small role in this equation, but was not included because of insufficient data. Since air can hold more moisture when it is warmer, there would probably be a smaller difference between both sides when the temperature is higher, but that is a whole new experiment. Also, since San Jose and Scott's Valley are 35 kilometers away from each other, a lot of random things can happen between the two places. Other variables besides wind and possibly temperature are too insignificant compared to the random variations that are possible. It should be mentioned that not all storms are like the ones I studied.
Some storms come from different directions.
The purpose of this experiment was to investigate typical winter storms that come in from the west with southerly or south-southwesterly winds. These are by far the most common in this area. Although the numbers only apply to these types of storms, the concepts apply to every storm. After doing this experiment, I am much more confident about my original theories. The results seemed to substantiate my hypotheses.
