I wouldn't sleep on that D6 shortwave, looks pretty potent. At least something to monitor, if it trends south a bit. It depends on the model, but some have it around day 5.5, and some don't have jack.
So, aside from the low % shot of a followup wave amplifying near 2/12, we punt through 2/18 it seems. I'm not sold that the last 1/3 of February or early March is definitely going to suck. If it does, I sure hope it's warm at least.
I do have that nostalgia from the 90's of seeing Mark Rosenthals' 6-12"+ shade of purple on the south coast and thinking it was a going to be a biggie..which would sometimes get updated to the white shade of 12"+, with the 6-12" moving further inland. Good times.
I know I'm talking about a bit later (like mid 90s)..but those numbers still felt like a lot then, compared to what we've gotten used to over the past 20.
