I thought those Pacific plumes were getting a bit too frisky. They are responding to a mini heating event. This explains my tremendous confusion.
Lots of heat-discharge vortexes that are spinning out plumes, going right over Vancouver.
A heat event is a discharge of stored heat energy. The mechanics is complex, but it usually involves a reverse of current, and a concentration of heat in the upper surface. You can see the action here, but a major heat event usually has a planar-laminar flow. We don't know the final effect.
The last heating event was huge and this one wants to match it.
Just like the last one, this reversal is dumping heat down south, where it will be a hot water bottle for the world. If it has sufficient energy, it should break our cold spell, and we'll never see the excitement of the US running out of natgas. As well, the warmies should be able to bring back the washpost in some form or another.
Curses, foiled again!
ps a heating event will give us a nice Spring, perhaps a warm May. It's better than a groundhog.
ps warm air wanting to push out the cold means lots of snow. My new books is "Fifty Shades of the Polar Vortex".
