The way it was explained to me by a meterologist was something like this: When you have periods of deep cold over the Arctic, the polar jet is rather stable. When there is less of a temperature differential, the polar jet tends to get drawn south and then swings north again, creating a ragged sine wave over the northern hemisphere. The cold winds, going further south than normal, pick up moisture and dump it further along.
Back in November, it was Buffalo, this time it's us.
Oh joy oh bliss.

That makes sense to me. High pressure pushing south, picking up moisture and cycling back and forth. Yup, makes sense to me. BTW our forecast is up to 10-12 cm for tomorrow. Sigh.
