        ## 🎯 Practical Solutions for Snow Data Access
        
        ### Option 1: Chart Extraction (This App) ✅
        **What it does:**
        - Computer vision analysis of NIWA snow depth charts
        - Extracts approximate numerical values and trends
        - Provides rough current snow depth estimates
        
        **Accuracy:** Moderate (±20-30cm) but useful for trends
        **Use cases:** Quick assessments, relative comparisons, proof-of-concept
        
        ### Option 2: NIWA DataHub (Requires Account) 🔐
        **Steps:**
        1. Register at https://data.niwa.co.nz/ (email + 2FA)
        2. Log in via web interface
        3. Browse "Climate station data" or "Snow & Ice Network"
        4. Download CSV files manually
        5. For API access: Generate Personal Access Token after login
        
        **Accuracy:** High (research-grade)
        **Use cases:** Research, official reports, detailed analysis
        
        ### Option 3: Alternative APIs ⚡
        **Recommended:**
        - **OpenWeatherMap** (free tier): Snow data for NZ coordinates
        - **WeatherAPI.com**: Comprehensive NZ weather including snow
        - **Visual Crossing**: Historical snow data with API access
        
        **Accuracy:** Good for general weather, limited for alpine specifics
        **Use cases:** General weather apps, regional snow estimates
        
        ### Option 4: Direct NIWA Contact 📧
        **For serious research:**
        - Email NIWA data team directly
        - Request specific dataset access
        - Negotiate API access for commercial/research use
        - Get real-time data feeds
        
        ### Option 5: Web Scraping (Advanced) 🤖
        **Automated chart analysis:**
        - Schedule regular image downloads
        - Batch process multiple stations
        - Track trends over time
        - Store extracted data in database
        
        ## 🏆 Recommended Approach:
        1. **Start with this app** for immediate estimates
        2. **Register at NIWA DataHub** for accurate historical data
        3. **Use alternative APIs** for general weather context
        4. **Contact NIWA directly** for research-grade real-time access
