Looks like a Gardon variety SECL to me. I bet your getting all happy over the 48hr over the top precip amounts around the Jersey area, remember what model this is and also know that isn't all snow.

Trust me, if the GFS had the same exact track and setup, its Quad amounts would be a good deal lower. The ETA has a problem controlling itself at the point of circulation which causes Quad runaway train so to speak with these types of systems. Those amounts it shows from 48-54 hrs are not realistic IMO. Much better model compared to the GFS, which is atrocious, but that one bias can give people the hype for a big letdown.

When the gfs shows something good for my area, I get excited even though I know the gfs is uugh, upsetting and a bad model. Sometimes when people want something, they will take any hope they could get.

Remember these key facts when looking at the ETA and GFS Models:

ETA - Wet Bias
GFS - Dry Bias

So basically, expect a bit more than what the GFS is displaying and expect a bit less with the ETA.

The differences between the 12z ETA and 12z GFS are so important it is amazing as this juncture. Some support for the ETA's track, though the storm is a very fast mover and other models aren't near to its Quad. It is actually a MECS miss IMO. If it would have developed farther south as expected 3 days ago.................

ome of the guidance is slowing the storm down some near the bench mark. 12Z uk slows it quite a bit. This is a trend that has shown up during the past 24 hours. This MAY prolong the heavy snows. Let's see what 0z brings. 8-)
