The NWS knows that have a problem and are working on it. The main problem is that there is not enough computing power in their supercomputer to look further than 3 days in the future and some built-in biases are hard-coded to reduce processing time. That is why the Euro model kicks the GFS(NWS Model) snowstorm after snowstorm here on the East Coast. This is one of the reasons Sandy was so bad, most local news stations use the GFS model and it completely missed the forecast until right before it happened, while the Euro had been screaming for 2 weeks about that storm track.
Back to the here and now, last year the NWS got funding to build a new supercomputer and are in process of putting it online. I don’t think it is fully operational yet, but some data is coming out for this winter’s storms.

IBM's in New York. Maybe he can order IBM to make a bigger and better supercomputer for the NYWS.
