Subject:  Soliciting Comments until December 31, 2011,
          on Experimental Probabilistic Winter Precipitation
          Forecasts for CONUS

The NWS is soliciting comments through December 31, 2011,
on its experimental Probabilistic Winter Precipitation
Forecasts (PWPFs) for CONUS only.  Please submit comments to the
following link:

    http://www.weather.gov/survey/nws-survey.php?code=PROBWPF

The experimental Probabilistic Winter Precipitation Forecasts
depict the probability of 24 hour amounts of snow or freezing
rain for several thresholds in inches.  The forecasts are
produced for three consecutive 24 hour periods out to 72 hours
and are based on the deterministic Hydrometeorological
Prediction Center (HPC) Winter Weather Desk (WWD) accumulation
forecasts. They are, however, automatically generated using an
ensemble of model forecasts along with WWD forecasts.

The products are available online at:
