Original post (5:13 PM EST ... SUN ...14-FEB-21)

Contest-worthy snows expected along the NW edge of the precipitation shield as the next in a parade of winter storm slides east across the northern M-A then off the SNE coast.  Messy p-type forecasts downstate.

Enter your forecast at the NEWxSFC/s home page at http://www.newx-forecasts.com/

You also get the chance to see how well your forecast stacks up against NWS Eastern Region Weather Forecast Offices. Turns out they/ve been fairly easy to beat!

The forecasting contest for Snow Storm #4 may be cancelled prior to the deadline if at least 6-to-8 stations are unlikely to observe at least a 4" storm-total snowfall.

If you are issuing your first forecast this winter ... or you entered the 'season-total' forecast contest ... you/ll need to create an account -- user name / password / valid e-mail (if you want a copy of your forecast sent to your Inbox).

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.
