Using lubridate and ggplot2 to work with dates in R (CC234)

The lubridate R package has a number of tools for working with dates and the ggplot2 R package has functions to plot data along a date-based axis. In this episode, Pat uses these tools to plot the cumulative precipitation over the year to find whether this year is wetter or drier than previous years. We'll do everything within RStudio.
