Northeast U.S. (NE-US-wx) 18th annual seasonal snowfall contest


Recommended Posts

Just giving a shout out and a link to the Northeast U.S. snow forecast site, which will be hosting its 18th annual seasonal contest and (for specific storms) the 20th annual storm forecasting contest.

This is already popular with several names you may recognize from American Weather forums. 

The link is here:

http://www.newx-forecasts.com/#RULES

and I would encourage you to click on the weblog site for interesting snow-related climate analysis posts.

Not sure if the organizer is a member of Am-wx but I think many of the participants are. The deadline for winter seasonal forecasts (for 25 locations in the eastern U.S.) is Nov 30 and the season used for verification is December through March only, so scale 'em back a little from your seasonals in total. Storm contests happen five to ten times a winter on average and are announced a couple of days ahead of the deadlines.

If this didn't exist, I would do it here, but it's already being done very well there -- so be there, or be square. 

Meanwhile, if you want the same sort of opportunity in the Midwest U.S., check out the snowfall contest in the Great Lakes / Ohio valley subforum and of course there is also the highly popular Mid Atlantic four station forecast contest in the MA subforum. Surprised there isn't one in the New England subforum but I guess they compare posted forecasts so it's about the same thing without a dedicated thread.
