If the NAM verifies the name has to be changed to "Now A Model"

Its likely a little too wet still but it basically did the best job if you think about it. It was most consistent from its furthest range showing a NW track and hinting out that the suppressed GFS and CMC and EURO were wrong. Even if its overdone it had the general theme right the whole time and never wavered run to run from hour 84 to crunch time. Remarkable from the NAM.

It just goes to show that certain storms will be picked up better by certain models. The only problem is the guys that programmed these things have no idea what storm types each model will pick up on best because there's a million different variables to every storm. It looks like this was the Now A Models (I like the name Gigs) storm. At least we hope so, it hasn't verified yet. Let's wait till tomorrow night to be sure.

It would really help if we knew where that was?

Can you add it to your profile, and anyone else that will be posting observations.

Thanks in advance.

Going to get some rest. I'll be up around 6am.

Good luck all! Hope we ALL get an amazing snow storm. We deserve this. Smile
