Nws has been calling for 6-12" this entire time. They took their expected snowfall from 11.5" to 8". Still well within the range. My point and click still shows the possibility of 6-13" and says the precip will change to all snow by 8pm.
The majority of us have been on here a decade plus and I believe this is only the second time since 2010 that we've seen model runs like this less than 24 hours before a storm.
I had something similar to this typed out a couple days ago but didn't post. You nailed it. We have had so many letdowns in the past that we can't even sit back and enjoy a great winter while it's happening.
