Winter '18 / '19 - Snow Storm #2: Call for Forecasts!

Brattleboro ... VT

Long overdue contest-worthy snow storm #2 looks to be well worth the wait.

Lee-side cyclogenesis over CO on FRI expected to race east reaching the western stations of the forecast area by SAT afternoon.

Moisture-rich mid-latitude cyclone advancing into a quasi-stationary Arctic air mass over eastern Canada offers an excellent opportunity for widespread bonus snowfalls.

Contest for Snow Storm #2 may be cancelled prior to the deadline if fewer than six stations are likely to observe at least a 4" snowfall.
