The GFS model had been forecasting a rain/snow event as early as November 15, 2012 in its 384 forecast a more intense storm was forecast to impact the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic States but as early as November 20, 2012, the model weakened the storm with much less upper air support.  Excellent work by the GFS model and NOAA NCEP.  Numerical weather prediction was one of the greatest inventions of the 20th century and was first proposed and studied by the great L.F. Richardson in 1922.
