It could very well be that general warming along with high sea - surface temperatures have lengthened the tropical storm season, making it more likely that a Sandy could form, travel so far north, and have an opportunity to interact with a deep jet - stream trough associated with the strong block, which is steering it westward into the mid-Atlantic.
