Your page here https://www.mikeymsweather.com/wxnwswinter.php is showing the old script.  Double check your installation of all components of the new version.

Happy Holiday and thanks to everyone for all the work on the update. It appears the BGM & ALB have a lot of stale graphics. Some of the pages are current and a lot are from back in Nov. Kind of common for BGM to be behind the 8 ball. Thanks again for the updates.

Looking at your sources, you don't have the latest/greatest.  Re-pull from Jerry's site and make sure you include everything.

EDIT: Of course Tom beat me to the punch. LOL.

Thanks! Uploaded it from a different computer and all is good ! Electronic magic or Murphy I'm not sure which. Thanks again!

A problem I'm having with the new winter precip fetch option is that you have only two choices: a 72 hour forecast or a 24 hour forecast. The script uses the 72 hour but as I've applied it to my web site, it's confusing people because the previous images (which are still generated by my office, BOX) applied to single storms. Currently, we have two events in the 72 hour window, so a quick glance by a user at the map makes them think "that's a lot more snow than the forecast says!".

Conversely, the 24 hour map would under-report what is expected for a long-lasting storm.

So... just grumbling for right now but I may go back to grabbing the office-generated images so that the info presented is based on the current (or immediately upcoming) event.

There are more images available.  They are all in 24-hour periods but I haven't found a way to code for all of the possibilities. 

An example of the code at the end of the URL is ^{&accum_period=24&fhour=32&2025020616} where 24 is the period of time the forecast is for (24 hours), 32 is the end time of that 24 hour period (32 hours out from the initial forecast).  25020616 is the time of the initial forecast ( 2025 02 06 16Z).  It's a lot to account for and more than slightly over my head.

Thanks. Yeah, I know about those.  The problem is they only cover a 24 hour period which is insufficient for some storms. It doesn't seem like there's enough flexibility in the URL options to get a "storm amount", so the offices appear to be generating those themselves.
