Northern plumes have changed their pattern

All our weather comes from the butterfly wings in the western Pacific.

The western Pacific plumes have gone low, but are still popping out like clockwork.  Meanwhile the latest Atlantic plume has gone straight up and will stir up the Arctic.  This usually means we'll see the dreaded 'Arctic Vortex' again, which isn't really a vortex, but an agitated air mass.

ps.  They've gone back to being regular.  BC could get more storms.
