Winter '14 / '15 - Storm #5: Call for Forecasts!

Strong upper LOW in a highly amplified long wave regime progged to close-off and deepen INVOF eastern Great Lakes inducing the surface LOW to bomb over the near-shore waters of SNE.  A tropopause fold could make for some interesting winter weather down east.

Contest for Storm #5 may be cancelled prior to the deadline if fewer than six stations are likely to observe at least a 4" snowfall.
