Yeah the large-scale thermodynamic hostility in the Atlantic keeps making me wonder if we're in a "calm before the storm" (like 2004, 2010, 2017) or heading for a fail mode (i.e. 2013). We definitely don't have that absurd high-lat warmth like 2013, though (MDR warmer too). pic.twitter.com/gERXcHmh42
