I don't think the polar Vortex has a resolve at all, which is "personification", assigning a human quality to a non-human object.

 

What it does have is cyclical power, strongest in the Winter. At that time, it might as well be a Category 2 hurricane, spinning around the North Pole , until, a piece drops away and hurls itself at North America for a short while.

 

But it causes havoc, and the coldest temps, because you aren't getting just arctic air, but the coldest of the arctic, the Polar Vortex. It will retreat back, it is a thing ruled by physics, the underpinning of all meteorology.

 

Hey now wait a minute...

I believe as we get closer we'll start to see the storm out west trend stronger and stronger. The cold looks like it gets here on time (though the NAM is still having issues), but the 2nd part is the whole key. I like that the EURO trended wetter overall. SNJ does really well on EURO.

Statement as of 4:02 AM EST on March 01, 2014

... Winter Storm Watch in effect from Sunday evening through

Monday afternoon...

The National Weather Service in Mount Holly has issued a Winter

Storm Watch... which is in effect from Sunday evening through

Monday afternoon.

* Locations... southeastern Pennsylvania including Philadelphia

through central and coastal northern New Jersey.

* Hazard types... mostly snow and sleet.

* Accumulations... snow accumulation of 6 to 10 inches... along with

around a trace of ice.

* Timing... any rain that occurs Sunday afternoon should change to

sleet... or freezing rain for a short time before changing to all

snow late Sunday night. Snow will end Monday afternoon.

* Winds... north 5 to 15 mph with gusts up to 25 mph.

* Temperatures... falling through 20s late at night and to near 20

by noon Monday.

* Impacts... while there is still uncertainty regarding the amounts

of snow... sleet and freezing rain that will occur Sunday

night... there is little doubt that Monday morning will be snowy

and cold. This is projecting to be a high impact winter storm

for Monday morning.

* Following the storm... near record cold is possible Monday night

as temperatures drop to between zero and 10 above.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Winter Storm Watch means there is a potential for significant

snow... sleet... or ice accumulations that may impact travel.

Continue to monitor the latest forecasts.
