Winter '17 / '18 - Snow Storm #1: Call for Forecasts Redux

Court St. Keene ... NH
c.1870
 
Sharp short wave diving into the base of a high-amplitude long wave trof centered nicely near 85W progged to spawn a meek area of LOW pressure over the OH river valley then transfer its energy to the SNE coast.

Bare minimum number of stations appear candidates for more than nuisance snowfall for this season/s inaugural event.  Contest may be cancelled before deadline if storm appears not to be contest-worthy.
