this is really cool, I've been looking for good snow-related weather APIs for my business. I tried looking on the site, but how does it work, being coordinates-based?

I'm used to working with different weather stations, e.g. seeing different snowfall prediction at the bottom of a mountain, halfway up, and at the top, where the coordinates are quite similar.

You'll need a local weather expert to assist, as terrain, geography and other hyper-local factors create forecasting unpredictability. For example, Jay Peak in VT has its own weather, the road in has no snow, but it's a raging snowstorm on the mountain.
