Winter '10 / '11 - Snow Storm #7 - Call for Forecasts

NY Bronx Mosholu Parkway
FEB 1961
After a three week hiatus...NEWxSFC is back in business for a storm system progged to cut across just enough northern forecast stations with just enough storm-total precipitation to make it a contest-worthy event.

Please note the earlier than usual deadline of 7 PM. 

Verification period includes Sunday to capture the storm's leading edge of frozen precipitation expected over NW stations late Sunday evening.

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).
