I made no such argument or assumption. I just brought to light that your snarky stock market comment was not a fair comparison.

Not that your comparison of weather to stocks is valid but have you ever heard of a stock heat map? There are many ways to visualize different types of data and using a map to visual weather is hardly controversial.

What kind of comment is this? This chart is most equatable to the market cap of a company which is often ordered by value.

If this chart was showing volume of snow per city without accounting for area your comment might be funny
