NAM still gung ho on driving slp further north than the globals and other models. When the nam is all alone like this it's usually wrong and dials it back at game time. 

 

I'm thinking a 50 mile adjustment south at minimum based upon H5 depiction. Saw the triple point low and jump during that run and was definitely north with central low pressure center. NAM just doing NAM things and it still smokes DC/Baltimore and NW.

eh...The NAM has deform in Scranton..I wouldn't take it too seriously...

 

The NAM gives us 20"+ before 12z and then takes the deformation band to PA and we get the dregs.  I don't believe it either, but it does set up our worst-case scenario.  Euro precip amounts early, NAM deformation location late.  And yet we'd still pull off 15" or so.

I think they compromise. Globals too south and the high res mods are a little overboard. Probably meet in the middle. I will say I posted a comparison of the slp and h5 tracks of this and 1996 (top threat analog) and to a spot off va beach they are the same. Yes from there this slides east vs northeast in 96 abc that's why Boston is probably not in this time but if you look at where heavy snow already was at the point where these two are identical it argues the northern extent should be across central pa to a little north of nyc not southern pa to south of nyc. We will see. None of that changes your results though.

almost 38" verbatim at LNS, too. Highly doubt that.

Feel for people on the northern edge.. although NAM pretty much only model giving great hope to many. Which is of course never the camp you want to be in. Gotta say that the 500mb low in one hour increments thru 36 on SV is pretty sweet either way.

I can't remember the specific storms but over the years we've seen the nam do this a lot. If it had support somewhere from something it would be more believable as an option. 

 

I'm not the least bit concerned either way. I did like the nam's front end dump. Let's see if the rgem looks similar.

I think the nam looked fine till 36 hours then it went nam. Punched the low north instead of ene. Not shockingly it goes off on a tangent after 36 hours.

The hi res NAM looks nothing like and actually has a pretty reasonable look, much more euro with the deformation zone. It's amounts are probably too high but the placement looks good.  The NAM a run or two during the Feb 5th even where it went north I think when no one else did.

yes...4k looks reasonable with placement, even though maybe too wet...We can probably wait until 0z to pay attention to the NAM...curious if the GFS will inch west at 18z
