Cold Weather Delayed over North America
Northern North America in mid-November is usually thirty degrees colder. This year, an unusually stable high-pressure system over Canada is keeping arctic air away. The image shows this weather pattern, which has led to warmer temperatures, though the exact cause of such persistent anticyclonic regions is complex.
