Jan 18-19 Storm Threat: Bob Chill made me do it

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.

There is still a chance we hold onto a minor event here, I am not 100% sold it continues to slide away to NOTHING...but I certainly would be prepared for that result emotionally, even up here, given where we are now.  

We more often that not go from something to nothing
