Well, no matter how much they try, even the most pushy climate 
scientists cannot link a given weather event to global warming.  They 
can state that there's "possibly"/"probably" some link, but not to a 
causal level.

That said, the current east coast weather event is linked to a an 
extreme jet-stream condition near Alaska and the bomb-cyclone 
development.  So one _weather_ scientist has said both are extreme and 
_likely_ linked to climate change and that the combination of both at 
the same time just exacerbates the whole.

Exactly.  Weather ≠ Climate.
