The contrast between the value and the rainy days of precipitation in the northeast during “cold vortex” in May-June from 1960 to 2012 Note: the percentage of precipitation represents the ratio of precipitation leading to the generalized “cold vortex” and total precipitation; ratio of the number of days 1 represents the ratio of rainy days in “cold vortex” days and the total rainy days; ratio of the number of days 2 represents the ratio of days in the process of the cold vortex and the total days; broken lines represent 3 years of moving average."
