As always ... there/s no cost ... no fee ... no advertising ... or annoying requests for personal information to enter a forecast. It's just a fun exercise for winter wx enthusiasts to see who can make the best synoptic-scale snowfall forecast. See how well your forecast stacks up against NWS Eastern Region Weather Forecast Offices.

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).
NEWxSFC/s email client is permanently off-line.
Forecasters may no longer have a copy of their forecast emailed to them.
Some are getting thorugh. Some are not.
The Contest/s email address newx (at) newx-forecasts (dot) com remains unreachable.
Apologies for the degraded service which is beyond my control.

Do we count snow that falls before 8pm?
Excellent question!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wonder whether the station forecast is the total snow by hour totaled or the total on the ground at the end of verification time.
verification period starts at 8 PM; therefore ... any snow before 8 PM is not counted.
verification is the storm total precipitation for what accumulated AFTER 8 PM THU until 11:59 PM FRI
sorry for the late responses ... I still have a day job ;/
