Cold air damming typically happens in the mid-latitudes as this region lies within the Westerlies, an area where frontal intrusions are common.When the Arctic oscillation is negative and pressures are higher over the poles, the flow is more meridional, blowing from the direction of the pole towards the equator, which brings cold air into the mid-latitudes.

Cold subsides when the vortex restabilizes and drives the arctic air back north. January’s freeze-out comes after December started cold, but finished out unusually warm across most of the country.
An area of high pressure that originated in the Arctic has plunged southward across the region, providing the cold air to support snow, and moisture from the Pacific Ocean and Gulf of Mexico will ...
The relationship between pressure and leakage air flow rate is defined by the power law between the airflow rate and the pressure difference across the building envelope as follows: [16] q L =C L ∆p n. where: q L is the volumetric leakage airflow rate expressed in m 3 h −1; C L is the air leakage coefficient expressed in m 3 h −1 Pa −n
This was preceded by unusually warm weather in the eastern U.S. in December 1984, suggesting that there was a build-up of cold air that was suddenly released from the Arctic, a meteorological event known as a mobile polar high. Mount Mitchell, in North Carolina recorded an all time record low of −34 °F (−37 °C).
A major outbreak of cold, stormy weather could snarl travel at higher elevations of the northwest United States and British Columbia this week, AccuWeather meteorologists say. The pattern will hit ...
In Northern Europe, cold, dry air masses from Russia can blow over the Baltic Sea and cause heavy snow squalls on areas of the southern and eastern coasts of Sweden, as well as on the Danish island of Bornholm, the east coast of Jutland and the northern coast of Poland. For the northern parts of the Baltic Sea, this happens mainly in the early ...
A quick but intense blast of Arctic air will barrel into the Northeast later this week to deliver quite a cold shock to the Northeast and neighboring Canada, AccuWeather meteorologists warn. The ...
