Winter '18 / '19 - Snow Storm #3: Call for Forecasts!

Conservatory Lake - Central Park - NYC (10-FEB-34)

Clipper-type short wave progged to dive SE across north-central CONUS on MON ... then re-develop off the SNE coast TUE ... may turn out to be 'contest-worthy.'

Numerical weather prediction models sometimes don't converge on a consensus solution and don't show systems like this their 'game face' until ~24 hours before flakes start flyin' for real.

Seeing how there have been so few chances to forecast storm-total snowfall this winter ... we're issuing a 'Call for Forecasts' for Snow Storm #3.

The contest for Snow Storm #3 may be cancelled prior to the deadline if fewer than six stations are likely to observe at least a 4" storm-total snowfall.

As always ... there/s no cost ... no fee ... no advertising ... or annoying requests for personal information to enter a forecast. It's just a fun exercise for winter wx enthusiasts to see who can make the best synoptic-scale snowfall forecast.

You also get the chance to see how well your forecast stacks up against NWS Eastern Region Weather Forecast Offices (turns out they're pretty easy to beat!)
