I remember that in my Synoptic class, my professor gave us this really handy "checklist"-like thing to help us with forecasting winter weather. I went looking on the net to see if I could find anything that concisely explained a lot of the stuff that we learned about forecasting winter wx, and I found this powerpoint that explains some concepts:

I also found this "checklist" on the Springfield WFO page:

Finally, here's the link to a paper that interested me because it deals with the challenges of forecasting winter wx along the east coast:

And here's a related paper I found that was especially interesting because it deals specifically with winter weather in the Appalachians:
