Why would the graph be during this time? Why not start it in October or November

October to May, or November to April. For the core of the winter season I suggest December-February.

A map of the contiguous U.S. using a snowflake hex pattern to show snow persistence over a 20-year period. Snow persistence is measured as the snow cover index, or the average fraction of time snow was on the ground from Jan 1 to July 3 from 2001-2020. Snowier places are white with snow, emphasizing the Rocky Mountains and Sierra range in the western U.S., and Maine in the northeast. The majority of the southern half of the country is within a 0-10% snow cover index.

Made using the sf, terra, ggplot2, ggimage, scico, magick, and cowplot packages in R.
