Winter '11 / '12 - Snow Storm #1 - Call for Forecasts

c.1890

Today/s 12z progs indicating a lot of forecast stations in the mid-Atlantic and southern New England are in line to get snowed upon but there may not be all that much of it.

A weak frontal wave rising out of the OH-TN river valley early Saturday morning will throw Atlantic moisture atop an arctic air mass parked over SE Canada.

Looks to be a borderline nuisance event but at this point in a rather disappointing season...we/ll take it.



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