How it works

Using ERA5 snowfall data, a threshold can be set based on the amount of snowfall in a day and a trigger for the number of days to protect against can be chosen. If the number of snow days above the threshold surpasses the trigger, the insured automatically becomes eligible for a loss payment, covering costs and maintaining profitability despite excess snowfall challenges.
