Winter '17 / '18 - Snow Storm #1: White Christmas

Time Square - NYC
26-DEC-47
Today/s American NWP output continued their collective tease for a potentially contest-worthy snow storm over northern portions of the forecast area on Christmas day.

Little comfort in store for true believers in sacred tele-connections for NE / M-A snows ... such as -AO ... -NAO ... +PNA ... despite plenty of evidence the conventional wisdom is largely unsupported empirically ... but I digress.

Should the stars finally align for this winter/s inaugural snowfall forecasting contest ... the 'Call for Forecasts' will be issued late tomorrow (SAT) afternoon / early evening with the deadline for entries NLT 10:30 PM EST on SUN.
