Just play with it and you'll figure it out. I haven't downloaded it, so I know nothing about it.

Andrew (the program author) has some video tutorials available on the F5 Data website (www.f5data.com) or on You Tube that are helpful for getting acquainted with the program. Other than that, as Jason said, just play with it and you will get the hang of it.
Regarding the current storm, I'm not actively tracking it since I'm in Montana and we only have a skiff of snow but cold temperatures (2ºF currently).
I did, however, check out snow accumulation projections on F5 Data by selecting NAM-WRF 84 hour forecast, then on the left column of the screen I selected Winter, then "APRWX Total Accum Snow". I also tried animating it from 0 hrs to 84 hrs to see how accumulations progressed, which was interesting. You can also try the same thing using the GFS model instead of NAM-WRF to see how it compares.
Lastly, the F5 Data website also has a forum in the Support section that you can best use for information regarding that program. Have fun with it!
