In case it isn't clear, let me add to this.

If someone wouldn't mind shedding some light...isnt the ridge axis too far west? or does the HL block provide enough of a suppressive flow to prevent tracking inland/up?

It's an ensemble mean at 300hr. There are 100 ways to fck that up. Impossible to know if the synoptic setup would be workable. Snow vs. no-snow would be determined by shortwave details masked by the time range and ens averaging. But... still prefer a favorable look than unfavorable... even if almost useless at day 13.

Eps run was crazy…. 10-12” mean through 360. Next week’s event was a tiny step back - the center of snowfall shifted north of the M/D line. Still not bad with 4-5” on the 24 hour mean.

This is thru only 300 hrs. Some of those waves must be scoring.

January 21, 2016 was a loooooong time ago.  We used to get the big ones every 3 years.  We are at year 9.  At some point one of these needs to deliver 18" plus.  It is time to reset the timer so let's do it already.  I can understand the doom and gloom.  I like snow like the rest of ya, but at some point I want more than 6".    And 6" I might add means it's really 3.5" most of the time by game day.      

Yeah. We have been spoiled in the 2000s. But go back and look how many time from 1970 to 2000 where we got over 15 inches.

We aren't really losing the big storms, just the light and moderate ones. That seems like the real problem. There have been much larger intervals without an 18"+ or 12"+ storm.

Regarding the event next week - it’s no surprise, but the OP GFS is the snowiest outcome among its own ensemble as well as that of the Euro ens and CMC ens. Only one random member comes close to it (for the cities at least).

Verbatim, the general ceiling is 10-12” which would be sweet.
