NEWxSFC/s 10th Anniversary Celebration

The Northeast Weather Snowfall Forecast Contest (NEWxSFC) is celebrating its 10th anniversary this winter. The Contest began during the '99/'00 season on USENET/s ne.weather news-group. It/s the longest continuously held snowfall forecasting contest for the NE CONUS on the Internet.

Special prizes will be awarded to the top Forecasters this year to commemorate the event. Sincere thanks go to Jack @ StormVista for his generous donation of StormVista GOLD and continued support to the NEWxSFC.
