A sudden stratospheric warming event reversed the winds that make up the northern polar vortex on March 9. A new animation shows the vortex also moved away from the Arctic towards Europe.
Between March 1 and March 20, the polar vortex traveled from above the Arctic to above Northern Europe. (Image credit: NOAA Climate) A major disruption to the Arctic polar vortex has bumped the ring of wind that circles the North Pole off its perch and towards Europe, a new animation shows.
The migration could trigger colder-than-average temperatures in parts of the continent and across the eastern U.S. over the coming week, climate scientists say.
The polar vortex started wandering off course March 9, when its high winds suddenly switched from blowing west to east to blowing in the opposite direction. This switch normally happens each year, but it tends to occur in mid-April — meaning this year's reversal struck unusually early, according to a blog post published April 3 by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

Too bad the Eurotrash rulers cut off their own cheap energy supplies from RuZZia and regular Europeans go broke.
I don’t know how much of this I’d buy. It comes from Climate.GOV. I’d want it to be fact checked by at least two disinterested non-governmental fact checkers.
Well done.
[singing] I fell in to an Arctic ring of cold...
More global warming ... block the Sun over Europe.
Glo-BULL COOLING?
havent we been hit with the polar vortex a couple times a winter the lst 15... 20 years!??
***colder-than-average temperatures in parts of the continent and across the eastern U.S. over the coming week***
So? I remember late freezes that killed the blossoms on orchard trees, oak trees and others causing mass starvation of wild life. I lost a garden to cold weather on May 19, back around 1980. This is not something new.
I also remember April 12, 1972 when the high temperature in Tulsa OK was 102 degrees. Some people had 106. Everyone was trying to get their air conditioners up and running! Still the highest temp for April back then.
The real crisis is that these people have been so wrong for so long, that they’ve created a black hole of credibility.
“’Major disruption’ has caused Arctic polar vortex to slide off North Pole, scientists say”
scientists say that it’s almost a certainty that the sliding vortexes were caused by U.S. tariffs ...
hey its saturday night... start a music thread!...
