Just had this great thought. The basin vortex is confined, and it reached a maximum last winter. As the world goes into the major ice cycle, it wants to grow.
Then I saw today's video. OMG, it's reproducing! Then things made sense in my physics brain. It will split into stationary vortexes over the main glacial growth points. Four major centres, spaced evenly. The UK will get their very own vortex.
We will have our vortex over the Laurentian Highlands, and the Rockies . All of these will be hard at work starting continental glaciers. They won't succeed because the land isn't high enough, it is still pressed down by the last glaciation. However, the centres will be fun.
Can't wait to see these things set up. Will the Arctic basin vortex still exist? Most likely not.
Of course, we are looking at a low chance for this year. Maybe next.
These are due to clear-air convection, which was banned by the warmies. One of these things produces unbelievable cold over land. I've seen the tracks, but nothing yet in populated areas.
