Which map are you referring to?  I am glad that you are finding some utility in this work.  I am currently working with both Arizona and Washington (Structural Engineering Associations) and their snow load committees to further vett the maps I have created for these two states.

This looks like an incredible resource for engineers and designers working in Idaho! Ground snow loads can vary significantly across the state, so having a detailed map with interpolation between NGSL isolines is invaluable for ensuring accurate and site-specific designs. It's impressive that you're tackling the complexity of this map, especially incorporating exceptions that don't conform to the isolines—those localized adjustments make it even more useful for real-world applications.
Looking forward to seeing the final version and the detailed report on the interpolation method. Understanding the algorithm and its limitations will be a huge help for users who need to justify their snow load assumptions in their designs. Great work, and thanks for taking on this challenge!
