Don’t care that much, but I seem to be one of the very few people who can’t click on post reactions to see who reacted. Phone and computer, neither works for me.
And GFS/GEFS has a notable strong vortex bias, so extra encouraging to see it onboard as well. Assuming this holds and we get an official SSW around the 3rd, question becomes how fast it impacts the troposphere on our side of the planet.
