Strictly greater than 12 inches qualifies; zero is valid, NoData/outside raster is unknown. Use each station's supplied State attribute to group the 50 US states, rather than reassigning its location to a new geography. Count original station records once by benchmark_row_id. Give all positive state counts in descending order, retaining ties; do not substitute unique state names for station counts. Non-US province codes and DC are outside this state comparison. Maps are optional.\n\n\n\nProduce an inspectable selected-station data artifact retaining original geometry, benchmark_row_id, State and sampled snowfall, plus the computed state comparison. End with one fenced JSON object: {count: total selected US station records, unknown_count: eligible US records with unknown snow, coverage_note: string, selection: {collectionId, itemId, assetKey}, groups: {state_code: integer_count}, value_field: name_of_sampled_snowfall_column_in_selection}. Include all positive groups, not just the largest. These field names are mandatory for grading, but choose your own valid workflow.\n\nDelivery format: provide the answer object with all fields specified above as final_response on assess_result, alongside the inspected final artifact_refs. This replaces the JSON-code-block formatting requirement above. Blue attaches your explicit selection to the accepted final answer.
