I love the NAM. It's the Forrest Gump model, modeling is like a box of chocolates you never know what you'll get every six hours.

Will be interesting to see how the other models handle it and whether it scored a coup.

Honestly, I'm just relieved it didn't go over the canal again. I think consensus is starting converge on or a weenie's throw from Nantucket

What was it Tip was saying about not discounting the NAM yesterday?

Word of caution - do not discount the NAM in this type of scenario:

It's high resolution and superior convective schemes (it is a tremendous tool in the summer for initiation btw, a hidden skill set...OT) suffice a system of this type that will be highly responsive to subtle smaller scale thermal field details - this is in particular why it scored so hugely for the Dec 9 2005 event. I've read some posts about outlier this and that and I think that is a mistake.

What's great about these types of storms is that so many people bail on going to work that I'll have a smooth ride into Boston in my 4WD. This is going to be awesome viewing out of my 24th floor office looking east. December 5, 2005 was one of the most amazing days of viewing from that location. I may actually be exited to go to work for a change! :thumbsup:

Can it get through 12" of snow ok?

ETaunton, what are you thinking for totals around our area? Do you think we have to worry about and mixing in this?

This solution is better than the 18z NAM. It intensifies faster so that prevents a lot of warm air from invading. Verbatim this is an 15-20" solution for mby. There could be some pingers as there always is with these dynamic systems, but verbatim, I love this solution.

I work underground. :arrowhead:

At least things will be very slow that day. I'll take lots of breaks to the upper floors.

NAM says no but you and I both know there aren't many times CT gets 2' and we stay all snow. This may be that time.

It does sneak the 1000-850 c/t well over both of us. I may be close but I've lived here long enough to know the line will be 5-7 miles west even in this situation here.

yeah i agree. the NAM would be a decent fit to BOX's snowmap for a lot of immediate eastern areas IMO...save for maybe down here where it would be overdone. i think that nam run would have a hard time producing much more than a couple/three inches IMBY...less east but substantially more somewhere west of me...maybe out by you or a hair west. it will be a very tight gradient between essentially nothing and 10" of snow i think for this general area.

Bob, you are money with these threads. Ullr will bless you with copious snow :snowman: Possibly a top 5 for you?
