Seeing the Nam struggle like this is weird since it's a close range model.

It has had at least 3 complete failures at hour 6 and initialization this year.. December 20th had 3-6"+ for SNE for that morning while no other model bit and there was a dusting in some towns..

If I’m wrong please correct me but why does it seem the computer models are becoming less accurate every year? And what needs to happen to fix that? More funding?

They aren’t less accurate. We’ve just gotten spoiled at their accuracy increase in the last 15 years. We’ve tracked a lot of storms from over a week out that didn’t waiver too hard…that was almost unheard of in the 2005-2010 years. 
 

This particular storm never looked good for us once we got inside of 6 days…if it was 2008 instead of 2025, we would’ve never even really given it a second thought other than clown range fodder…but the increase in accuracy of the models in the last decade-plus has conditioned us to take a D6-7 threat somewhat seriously. So it actually produces some feeling of disappointment or being deceived by guidance when the rug is pulled at 132 hours instead of just laughing it off as clown range.

I think what's happening is that the atmosphere around the world has been so volatile lately. Lot of things going on, lot of fast flows. It throws everything off and it's very hard to figure out what pieces will come together. 

As far as the storm for Thursday and The NAM model bringing it further north... It probably isn't correct, but we have had some instances where a storm would start to trend back Northwest slowly. I remember a few times where our storm Even within 24 to 36 hours kept on trending further Northwest where it would bring snows back into Connecticut, even when it showed a few days earlier. Nothing. So there's always that possibility. But I'm not wearing rose colored glasses, and I do not expect this to happen. But if it does, it would be a nice surprise for everyone

Maybe the NAM is sniffing out some sort of IVT as the upper level low tries to pull some moisture back, or just cocked.

Didn't the Euro last night also show some kind of pullback of some of the snow. Almost like an inverted trough ish. That could be something, but again, it would probably only affect areas all the way out east

12z Euro has already backed off that solution unfortunately...

Yeah, this is definitely Dead in the water. Still a hard one to swallow though. From what we saw 5 days ago. All the models last week were showing it and it was on the radar of all the forecasts for this Thursday until we hit Sunday of this weekend, and then it all went downhill from there LOL. Oh well, we'll get our storm. Just don't know when
