Spatial distribution of the difference between average snow probability (daSP), obtained by subtracting the mean snow probability of snow-dominated precipitation events with snow probability >50% (SDE50) in the urban area from that in the corresponding buffer region for all urban–buffer pairs (UBPs), across the continental USA (CONUS). In all, 81% (3944) of the selected UBPs (4856) show positive daSP (inset plot), indicating that the average snow probabilities of SDE50 for those buffer regions are higher than that of their urban counterparts. Source data are provided in Source_data.xlsx, on the sheet called Main_figure_1.
