Just wondering if you would consider revising the end of the forecast period to end of Thursday 11th for the New England stations as the storm could be ongoing at
Wed 10th 2359 EST. -- RS
Checked the over-night runs. GFS does not have any additional accums after 06z THU. NAM OTOH does.
Too late to change it now b/c the end of the forecast period has been announced far and wide (hundreds of e-mails and several forums) and some entries have already been submitted.
No worries, it does look like most of the storm will be done anyway. Thanks for a fun contest. -- RS
