Hard to believe the last 'Call for Forecasts' was issued two months ago ... all the way back on 25-NOV-14

Only three years (2000, 2007, 2012) where there no contest-worthy storms in DEC.
Only two years (2007, 2013) where there no contest-worthy storms in JAN.

Even FEB is not immune to no-hitters (2002, 2009).
The good news is early FEB looks quite promising.

Probably get two in APR (h/t snowman).
Last and only time that happened was 2002.
