Okay, let's try to do another good, informative post so TSSN thinks my account is still hacked.
In my opinion, we're either going to get the January 15-16 storm, the January 18-20 storm, or we're going to get neither. The kicker poor wave spacing , while not helping our 15th system actually helps the second wave (for the 18-20th) as I think that the residual energy from the kicker helps with a stronger +PNA, helping slow down the jet stream so the original kicker can tilt negative and bam. This is getting the the end of my knowledge however so I'm not 100% whether this analysis is correct. If I'm wrong please correct me
