Hi @qqerret - Thanks for the questions.

Can we use the history data of the same cell when inferring?

If you are asking whether you can use historical ground measures for the test cells, the answer is no. You can see this thread for more context. This section may help:

You are permitted to use SNOTEL and CDEC data from the set of stations contained in ground_measures_metadata.csv shared in the train features and test features files. Your solution cannot use any other historical ground measure data because your solution should be able to estimate SWE in locations where there is no historical ground station or ASO data available.

To your other question:

can we use the date, lat and lon? Or the image is only allowed to use

Can you clarify this? The information about date and grid cell location should be useful (in fact, required) for cross referencing with approved features, so I think what you’re asking is fine.

Hope that helps!
