This is a Scatter Plot with Linear Fit Lines, used to compare total snow accumulation over time at four different mountain locations. Each group of colored points represents daily cumulative snow measurements for one location, while the corresponding trend lines (linear fits) show the overall rate of accumulation for each site during the winter season.

This type of plot is useful for visualizing trends across multiple categories or locations in a shared time series. Beyond snowfall data, it can be used for any context for a comparison of how different groups progress over time — such as sales growth by region, pollutant accumulation by monitoring station, or patient recovery metrics across hospitals. The combination of raw data and trend lines helps viewers interpret both short-term variability and long-term direction.
