I almost favor that...told you earlier, I have been keying in on early March since last fall. Always thought that was the best window with highest ceiling of the winter in a general sense.
That fits better within the 3/1 to 3/15 window that I flagged back in my November diatribe, but it looked as of yesterday that the PNA incline was centered on about 2/24 to 2/26, or thereabouts.
Man, GFS def. a bit more SNE friendly. Euro drops about 7" here over the next 10 days, and an inch at Boston. GFS is about 17" here, and a foot at Boston.
