Keep Your Snowpants On...It/s Coming.

When can the first Contest storm be expected?

Since its inception back in 2000...the NEWxSFC has always had at least one Contest storm before the end of December. The earliest storm happened on 11/27/02. The latest storm was 12/30/00.

The best guess for when this year/s first Contest storm will occur is the latter half of December/s second week (12/9 - 12/14).

Based upon an admittedly small data set...in any given year there/s a 50% chance the first storm will be on or before Dec. 9...a 67% chance it will happen on or before December 14...and an 83% chance the storm will occur on or before Dec. 20.
