Winter '18 / '19 - Snow Storm #5: Call for Forecasts! Take 2

Boston Commons
MAR-33

Snow Storm #5 ... a late season nor'easter ... takes aim at most of the forecast area to open the season/s final quarter.

Rapid deepening of the mid-latitude cyclone during its approach and transit near 'Teh Benchmark' (40N/70W) typically produces bonus snows over SNE/s I-95 corridor.  Lack of Arctic air anchored north of the LOW could play a important role defining the RN / SN transition zone.

NOTE:  Any snowfall observed over extreme northern forecast stations (e.g., CAR ... BGR ... etc.) from the exiting storm during the first few hours of SUN should not be included in your forecast.

The forecasting contest for Snow Storm #5 may be cancelled prior to the deadline if at least six-to-eight stations are unlikely to observe at least a 4" storm-total snowfall.
