the more i think about this the less i'm liking it .. 

put it this way - how many times when there was paltry CAPE did we mock it but then ended up having to sock it, because the Lapse rates were huge and overcame a theta-e starved column? ...in fact, New England actually gets most of their action from mechanical forcing and/or lapse rates, working in proportion to one another.

what do we NOT really have much of right now? 

Lapse rates...  

CAPE doesn't mean much if there's no way to strike a match.  we do, however, have some mechanical forcing in terms of the front and linear altitude velocity/shear.  hmm
