Winter '10 / '11 - Snow Storm #4 - Call for Forecasts

Union...Maine
JAN-1926
Miller-B (.pdf) cyclogenesis forecast to occur off the Delmarva peninsula early FRI morning.

Progs aren/t all that juiced nor are the powerhouse dynamics we/ve seen with previous storms evident until the system lifts out to the NE.

Even so...the storm appears to be contest-worthy.

The contest may be canceled prior to the deadline if NWP indicates a fizzling event.

As always...there/s no cost...or fee...or advertising...or annoying requests for personal information to enter a forecast. It's just a fun exercise among winter wx enthusiasts to see who can make the best synoptic-scale snowfall forecast.

If you are issuing your first forecast this winter...or you entered the 'season-total' forecast contest...you/ll need to create an account (user name / password / valid e-mail...if you want a copy of your forecast sent to your Inbox).
