Tail wind tall tale?

I read yesterday an item written by a reputable person who is also a private pilot, seemingly indicating that he experienced a 168 mph tail wind on January 1, providing a ground speed of 657 mph, I believe heading east across the US toward Washington, D.C. Is that possible? I can't provide a link, but it's in a tweet dated January 1 of @JamesFallows.
