## Description

Snow Report & Forecast is a Chrome extension that brings NOAA snow and weather data directly to your browser. It offers a robust set of tools including 7-day point and zone snow forecasts, 3-day hourly snowfall forecasts, GOES-East/West satellite imagery, and NOAA/NWS weather discussions alongside long-range model outlooks. Its interactive map and overlays help you plan winter activities, commutes, or travel with confidence.

Key features include 7-day hourly forecasts, snow accumulation and probability, 48h recent snowfall reports, daily U.S. snowfall reports from NCDC, and access to multiple forecast models (GFS, GEFS, NAM, HRRR, HREF). Note: data coverage is strongest for the continental U.S., with limited coverage in Alaska and Hawaii.
