Law of averages - We get better trends into the event last storm and this storm it gets worse leading in

We had good trends but we peaked too soon yesterday. 
 

however, my 0% scientific opinion says at 0z we actually see this come back our way a bit. I said that last week and that was the start of our comeback. Trying to replicate all the variables.

Guys, what do we do to rescue this? We have the pattern temporary flipping on the back side of this. If we want to be a snow town, we have to activate our stops right now. 
 

resting our hopes on the icon jma and rgem is a very risky proposition. 
 

Do we gotta start getting drunk like last weekend? @stormtracker

Vort pass continues to edge north with each run.  it's almost over us now.

Yesterday I showed how that was trending our way. That trend the 24 hours previous was why it started to look promising. Unfortunately it’s been bleeding the wrong way since.  Often it’s missed because it’s incremental each 6 hours and doesn’t always happen consistently model to model. If you play the “look for whatever gives me hope” game it’s also hard to see. But if you pull back and compare to 24 or 36 hours ago it’s gets hard to ignore why it’s going sideways for us. 
 

this is the opposite what we wanted.

It just almost never comes back S with a northern stream wave too… i don’t even know if our 100% successful methods will work on this

The only times a NS wave has trended south it's been because it was suppressed by confluence becoming modeled too weak.  It happened twice in March 2014.  The problem is, and was true in both those cases, that also weakens the wave.  One of those March 2014 storms was originally modeled as a 18-24" storm for PA.  In the end it was a 4-8" storm in VA.  This wave is so weak already that the suppression it might take to force it back south...would just mean there was no storm for anyone.  Squashing it south of us doesn't really do us much good.  I have almost NEVER seen a NS wave trend more "diggy" the last 72 hours which is what we actually need.

Man that's depressing :cliff:

Go ahead.  And do pbp for the GFS...gym day.  0z really will be telling

Yesterday I was hopeful this would buck the typical outcome for a NS wave coming in from this trajectory.  But I think now it's heading towards what we all knew in the back of our heads was most likely.  Hope I'm wrong.

Let’s just use this storm to pretend we’re angry at PSU, if I recall correctly 1/26/11 was the PSUhoffman storm back in the day? We can make this the f*** PSU storm? Then we can do PSU2 in February?

I stayed away from the thread for almost 3 model cycles and oddly it didn't seem like people were any more happy about their snow prospects going to crap.  Is it perhaps that my analysis of our crappy outcomes is not what people are really upset about?

It’s definitely not that lol. We just have to make up an excuse at this point. Getting a n/s wave to not put the nail in the coffin tonight is miracle work.

18z RGEM is a little dryer (EDIT: it's tough to really tell with this map) but still lots of light snow for dc and points north. Philly jackput with the inverted trough.
