PERHAPS WE SHOULD HAVE WINTER PRECIP CONTESTS LIKE FOR EVENT DUE IN SATURDAY -- R.S.
turns out there were 6 stations with more than nuisance snowfall. imo at the time ... the potential for a contest-worthy snow storm wasn't in the cards -- due to too few stations in play -- at the time a 'call for forecasts' would have needed to been made.
Yep, I was saying if no snow was going to fall in winter 2023-24 we may need to go to precip contests instead. ... but now we see a 3rd contest opportunity, yippee ... RS
