i was talking about how there was some uncertainty around whether the hot air in the atlantic may have something to say about the polar vortex.

that storm on the east coast right now is that hot air in the atlantic getting pulverized by the polar vortex, which is clearly demonstrating itself as the more powerful force. but, this is actually the kind of storm that people around the jet stream, wherever it is in thirty years, are going to have to get more used to during winter, as increasingly concentrated pools of warmth near the equator smash more frequently into these polar air masses.

the latitudes of these storms may push north, or may not. the polar sea may not end up so navigable in the winter, after all. it depends on the sun. right now, the cold is holding it's own at fairly temperate latitudes. but, the onslaught has just begun.
