There are many manifestations of 'stalled air masses' in this satellite.
There is also one over Europe. The reason for these stalled air masses is due to the fact the Jet Stream has little influence in our troposphere. Why? Because on October 4, 2002 two tropospheric vortexes manifested, one in the north Atlantic and one in the north Pacific. On the very same day, a team of scientists in Antarctica reported the reversal of flow of an entire ice river named C-0 (zero).
The number of vortexes increased over the years while the Jet Stream was forced to the background. The heat since the vortexes manifested that first day has been moved around the planet. It is physics. In that is a realization the planet is experiencing extreme changes in the climate.
In that reality of the climate changing includes changes in air pressure and air mass volume. It is far more difficult to move air masses by any jet stream if they are less dense and diffuse into the troposphere and tropopause and stratosphere. It doesn't take much heat in a surface area the size of Earth to change the dynamics of air circulation around the planet.This is a European satellite from today. There are stalled air masses here as well. That means the air masses over Europe has to move before the one over the Atlantic and North American can move. That dynamic is what dictates weather because of climate change of a heating planet.
To note in the satellite picture at the top of the page is the absence of the ICZ (Intertropical Convergence Zone). The ICZ is the air mass normally at the equator. There are always clouds within that zone under a normal troposphere. The clouds are gone and carried north by the strong air movement offshore of North America. The dark white vertical cloud mass. That same vertical cloud mass is noted in this satellite of Europe at the edge of Greenland and Iceland.So, with things that completely terrible, the cat is going to have snow to dig for awhile until Earth reorganizes it's physics. The end of the video tells the tale really. The cat just wants out of the house. I can completely understand that.
