if radar continues to improve and any other models come around to this NAM solution...we will have some suprised peeps in a few hours.

Radar seems to be developing pretty well over the past ten or so hours - But I thought I am just over weening on snow - You know, I lived thru snowmageddon last season, and am basically grasping at straws, and am only seeing what I wish to see on radar this morning, that the radar may be setting up to maybe overperform - basic rediculous weenieism at its very worst.

We'll see in the coming hours. I hope for the best ---Especially for stormtracker - Love to see him knee-deep in powder by Wednesday morning if at all possible. Okay - knee deep is over done - maybe see him top of his boots deep in nine inches of fresh powder by Wednesday.

Amazing to be 12hrs out from a storm and have the models DIVERGING instead of converging. Especially after pretty reasonable consistency between the model suite for the past couple/few days.

I think it could be due to the NAM's resolution picking up on a mesoscale feature better and not damping it out as much as the GFS would... unfortunately it seems to not only pick it up, but also enhance it, which would be a culprit for the diverging solutions.

06z GFS has the SFC low too far east... 06z NAM is right on (as the NAM has been) with the low placement. Does this mean the QPF is more legit? We'll see...

EDIT: Fixed :P

I'll take it. I'd much rather have 5-6" than 1-2":thumbsup:

LWX seems to be taking the NAM solution, at least on their map: http://www.erh.noaa.gov/er/lwx/winterstorm/

It would be kind of crazy if the NAM ends up right here....as some of you know during the 26th storm when the NAM came in dry and didn't move while the other models were giving us some good stuff I screamed RED FLAG. Randy gave me some ribbing because of it but in the end it definitely caught on to something....HOPE IT'S RIGHT THIS TIME
