Suboptimal for getting home today

Very cool seeing the dynamical cooling at play on the back side of a very impressive midlatitude cyclone #IAwx

One of those insane weather events you know you'll never see again in your lifetime. Blizzard warning on the #LAwx and #TXwx Gulf Coast!

Tropical SST pattern interesting between 2013 and this year... I know Paul has mentioned this warm/cool dateline split before in potential for central/eastern US cold patterns. But North Pac SSTs different (although I don't subscribe less to the influence of non-trop SST feedbacks)

Seems we're also seeing the impacts from the very strong stratospheric Polar Vortex reflecting anomalous wave activity from the unusually amplified tropospheric North Pacific pattern. @simonleewx.com did you guys find that a stronger PV increases the likelihood of these wave reflection events?

I should probably post something about the weather. But here's a picture of one of the few foods in my life I actually couldn't eat
