Its awesome and all, but if we are being honest, it is an extreme outlier with those amounts. 

Oh totally, it literally rotates in a firehose of supercells off the ocean and has 6"/hour rates for hours over NJ. Reasonable local lolli will probably be more in the 30-34" range

Agreed. Places in NJ will get to experience blizzard 83 rates for a period in spots, I have no doubt.

The RRFS would be fun if you're a Berks/Lehigh Valley weenie... 2-4" of snow only LOL. FV3-GFS also went east a bit... Not all of these NOAA meso models should at all be taken seriously though, they don't excel in large synoptic systems

That would be a huge let down

Why can’t it ever be easy damn it? 2016 and 2021 were very uncertain until the last minute too.

Rgem is an outlier on the opposite extreme of the NAM. But if that verified, Hurricane would be kicking himself for giving in and not sticking with his original call which is essentially the rgem verbatim.

Looking at Wunderground giving me 5" for tomorrow and then seeing those clown maps is giving me whiplash. Is the NAM taking into account how warm it's going to be at the start or no? (just talking about us interior people)

Don't get me wrong, I'm goign to be happy if even that verifies, but still.

The RGEM was the last model to cave in 2016. It had been showing a miss north of Philly for days. I vividly remember watching the 0z run come in with a big snowstorm as the storm was starting on Friday night and knowing at that moment we were in for something historic.

Yes I remember the nam was the only model to show 30 inches for the Lehigh valley in 2016 and the rest showed 3 to 6. Ppl at my job laughed at me that Friday nite when I said oh we might get 30 inches.

You make a good point. The more I look at this the more I realize the bust potential here is enormous, both inland and in the jackpot area closer to the coast. I really do not think the models take the warm temperatures into account. Even here in the LV we may not hit 32 as a low. The coast has a high likelihood of not dropping below the mid 30s. Sure, it will snow and accumulate, but what will the ratios be?
