In all seriousness, I would have to consider a crappy March… But around these parts I can’t really argue with two very large snow storms. That itself almost argues an A.
Why would this week specifically drop a grade? It’s March, things melt. Deal with it. If you want to at the end of the month, say we had no snow in the grade drops then I could reason with that.
Cold retreats and anything active cuts. That’s the issue. Later in the month gradient shifts north. If I was lakes region north I’d be more interested.
If we had blocking or better west coast ridging I’d be a lot more intrigued. It’s just this zonal meh look. You’d really have to time something so perfectly.
