The SFE at the American Meteorological Society's Annual Meeting

During the week before last, over 4500 meteorologists convened in Seattle, Washington for the 97th American Meteorological Society (AMS) annual meeting. As always, I left this meeting with a plethora of new ideas, enthusiasm for the field, and at least a dozen papers added to my to-read pile. However, I also noticed a number of talks which mentioned the Spring Forecasting Experiment, including results from past experiments and hints of what's to come in SFE 2017.
