It was no surprise to hear Arsene Wenger talking this week about the pressure of being at the top of the Premier League, as his Arsenal side have suffered with it plenty of times, including over the last few weeks when the Gunners hit a slump after finding ourselves two points clear and in pole position to win the Premier League.

For the entire Northern Hemisphere, there is evidence of an increase in both storm frequency and intensity during the cold season since 1950,1 with storm tracks having shifted slightly towards the poles.2, 3 Extremely heavy snowstorms increased in number during the last century in northern and eastern parts of the United States, but have been less frequent since 2000.11,15 Total seasonal snowfall has generally decreased in southern and some western areas, 16 increased in the northern Great Plains and Great Lakes region, 16,17 and not changed in other areas, such as the Sierra Nevada, although snow is melting earlier in the year and more precipitation is falling as rain versus snow.18 Very snowy winters have generally been decreasing in frequency in most regions over the last 10 to 20 years, although the Northeast has been seeing a normal number of such winters.19 Heavier - than - normal snowfalls recently observed in the Midwest and Northeast U.S. in some years, with little snow in other years, are consistent with indications of increased blocking (a large scale pressure pattern with little or no movement) of the wintertime circulation of the Northern Hemisphere.5 However, conclusions about trends in blocking have been found to depend on the method of analysis, 6 so the assessment and attribution of trends in blocking remains an active research area.

Even if the temperature e.g. at the poles, the sink places, dropped 1 °C more than average, that doesn't make much difference: the current CO2 level at about 400 ppmv gives about the same partial pressure of 400 microatm everywhere over the oceans (minus a few % due to water vapour).

In the center of the figure is low pressure, meant to be an analogue to the vortex over the pole in Figure 1.

In response to increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases and tropospheric sulfate aerosols, the multimodel average exhibits a positive annular trend in both hemispheres, with decreasing sea level pressure (SLP) over the pole and a compensating increase in midlatitudes.

While the DA was replaced by low sea level pressure (SLP) over the Arctic Ocean in July, high pressure returned over the Beaufort Sea in August coupled with low pressure over Siberia, helping to compress ice towards the pole and bring warm air into the Arctic.

In August, higher pressure rebuilt in the Beaufort Sea together with low SLP over Siberia, helping to compact the ice towards the pole and leading to advection of warm, southerly air into the Arctic.
