The north is set to be hit by successive weak plumes of moist air. This means it will be cold with lots of snow.
This is the map of warm, moist air. Other than hurricanes, these plumes are the main mechanism for cooling the tropical ocean. The rule of thumb is that when things get too hot, the air instability starts. When we had northern ocean currents, the plumes would follow the troughs and we would get hit with very strong plumes. Not now.
This weather pattern looks to be with us for the next few weeks.
